Topic: Passing release groups over to picard?
Hello there,
I like the new releaes groups feature much and would to know if it's planned to have picard save release groups to the files it tags?
Re: Passing release groups over to picard?
What do you want to use the release group for, in Picard? A release group is really just a title and type (usually matching the releases inside it) along with a set of releases?
Re: Passing release groups over to picard?
I for one would use it to group releases that are part of a multidisc release into the same folder. So far I have been unable to let picard to that.
Re: Passing release groups over to picard?
I can see how that would be useful, perhaps you should make an enhancement ticket for it in the bug tracker and hope for the best. :)

Gouken: Have you tried the disc number plugin? It already does this for most multi-disc releases by moving the discnumber and title to separate ID3 tags...
Re: Passing release groups over to picard?
Yep, if he only wants to get all the music in the same folder that will work, but the way I understood it, he might want a folder structure that is something like;
*Release Group
**Release (disc 1)
**Release (disc 2)
Could be useful.
Re: Passing release groups over to picard?
Well you can do that as well, with a modded plugin, or just by adding tagger script. Obviously more advanced than is suitable for most users, but still possible.

Yes, that's the actual intent of my question. I realize now that having picard sort every release group into a subfolder might be overdoing it, as every release has a release group of its own, so this probably is not the solution to my particular quest after all.

Could you give me some pointers where I would start to do that? I'm at a loss right now. Thanks
Re: Passing release groups over to picard?
If you use the Disc Numbers plugin, it will move the disc numbers and subtitles out of release names. So then %album% becomes the release group. Since the disc number and title will be stored in %discnumber% and %discsubtitle% respectively, we have all aspects in tagger script.
So if you added tagger script like:
$if(%discnumber%,$set(albumdisc,$if(%discsubtitle%,%album% \(disc %discnumber%: %discsubtitle%\),%album% \(disc %discnumber%\))))That would create a new variable "albumdisc" which included the disc information again. You could use this variable in file naming scripts, e.g.
$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/%album%/$if(%albumdisc%,%albumdisc%/,)$num(%tracknumber%,2)-%artist%-%title%to get a format like you had above for storage.
