Title: Convert format - using album artist
Post by: Poison Dan on July 07, 2002, 09:39:37 am

I got a question about the convert format feature.

In the "converter settings" dialog, there is an option to automatically create artist/album directories. This is a great feature, but it gives me problems when I'm converting a "various artists" album: MJ creates a separate directory for each artist on the album. This gets especially messy when I batch-convert several albums with some "various artists" albums included.

Therefor, it would be very useful if MJ could use the album artist field instead of the artist field. I already use the album artist field "Various" for these albums, and this works great in the media library view artist/album (if the album artist field is empty, MJ simply uses the artist field instead, and this is very convenient).

Should I post this as a feature request, or does anybody of you have any workaround I can use right now ?

Bump.

Lots of activity in this forum lately.

Ideally, you should be able to type in how the naming works, just like you can everywhere else.  However, this won't make it into version 8.0

Hope that's not too much of a downer...

I'm using the converter feature to convert .ape to .wma. Checking the "create artist/album" checkbox makes no difference in the output. There are no subdirectories created in the destination folder.
