I need to be able to save everything into a single folder (Audials 2019 ignores the One common subfolder.. option) and have filenames set a I want them. choosing the one common subfolder and naming convention artist - album - nr - track.ext doesn't work and there is no indication of how the naming convention should correctly be. 0 Comment actions Permalink sknab June 28, 2020 14:48 I would like the option to create the file folder name using the disc number of a track for albums that contain multiple CDs. There isn't an attribute for this, although it is in the Spotify source. As it works at present if I save a streamed album that was on two CDs I end up with a folder containing two track 01s, two track 02s etc and then my audio player plays the tracks in the wrong order. 1 Comment actions Permalink TBingeman August 13, 2020 20:48 I agree with sknab that an attribute for disc number needs to be added for multi-disc recordings. I have ran into this many times and end up needing to rename files to show they are in order without disc numbers. 0 Comment actions Permalink Please sign in to leave a comment.
