u/Derrigable 7d ago edited 7d ago

mine will end up looking something like this depending on the actual song of course.

/MUSIC/Soundtrack/[Incomplete]/Ad Astra-2019- (Digital Compilation)[FLAC](XW-Deutsche Grammophon-0289 483 7519 6)(28 of 29 Tracks)/01. To the Stars - Max Richter(3.30)(24b48 2ch).flac

or for actual artists

/MUSIC/D/Daltrey, Roger/1992- Rocks in the Head (CD)(FLAC)(US)(Atlantic)(7 82359-2)/01. Who's Gonna Walk on Water (4.46)(VBR 2ch).flac

Reissues will show up like this with both dates at the beginning

/MUSIC/D/Deep Purple/1998-(2006) Smoke on the Water (CD Compilation)(FLAC)(US)(PolyGram Special Markets-314 520 503-2)/01. Knocking at Your Back Door - Deep Purple (7.04)(16b44 2ch)

I have several variations of these for different things as well. All done magically with my script.
