Platform Linux

Bug description

1. Set album folder format to the {ArtistName} {AlbumArtistName}
2. Download track https://tidal.com/browse/track/41277362
3. Observe created folder

Created folder will be Various Artists Various Artists, which means that both Artist Name and Album Artist Name use Album Artist Name (Various Artists) instead of the artist name (Hans Zimmer)

I think this would be a bug with "aigpy" if anything, since thats used first to parse metadata

[yaronzz]

ArtistName = All album artists AlbumArtistName = first album artist

[matejdro]

Huh, so there is no way to name the folder after the individual artist name on the song?

I guess I misunderstood that, thanks for answering.

[yaronzz]

emm... You can try to set the item 'Track file format' = “{ArtistName} / {TrackNumber} - {TrackTitle}” I haven't tried

[yaronzz]

The album folder format: ArtistName = All album artists AlbumArtistName = first album artist

The track file format: ArtistsName= All track artists ArtistName= first track artist

The final path is: [album folder format] / [track file format]

[matejdro]

Thanks, it works. I've made album folder a single space and then added artist folder to track file as suggested.

[matejdro]

Nevermind, a single space will prepend a space to all tracks.

A workaround is to make album folder format something static like "Music goes here" and then all music is just in this one oflder.

emm... You can try to set the item 'album folder format' = “{None}”
