Picard is amazingly powerful and I've used it for many years to manage my Music directory. I've done many tweaks to my file naming script over the years and I'm sure I'm not done. My current one looks like this: $if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/%album% $if(%originaldate%,$$left(%originaldate%,4)$)/ $if($gt(%totaldiscs%,1),Disc %discnumber% $if(%discsubtitle%,: %discsubtitle%,)/,) $num(%tracknumber%,$if($lt(%totaltracks%,10),1,$if($lt(%totaltracks%,100),2,3))) %title% I have "Replace non-ASCII characters" and "Windows compatibility" both unchecked. At present I'm kind of 50/50 on single-digit track numbers for albums that have less than 10 tracks, kind of just used to everything being two digits (though I have a handful with greater than 99 tracks, so there's the concession there for triple-digit track numbers). It's also very much optimized for my own use of the file system being my library management. I just change directory and play. ;)

Here's mine. I am not sure how to format this without breaking it. $truncate($if2(%albumartist%,%artist%),143)/$truncate($if($if2(%originaldate%,%date%),$left($if2(%originaldate%,%date%),4) )%album%,143)$if(%discsubtitle%,/$truncate(%discsubtitle%,143))/$truncate($if($gt(%totaldiscs%,1),$if($gt(%totaldiscs%,9),$num(%discnumber%,2),$num(%discnumber%,1))-,)$if($ne(%tracknumber%,),$if($gt(%totaltracks%,99),$num(%tracknumber%,3),$if($gt(%totaltracks%,9),$num(%tracknumber%,2),$num(%tracknumber%,1))),) %title%,138) I think the truncations are necessary to avoid exceeding filename length limits on some systems. The if2s are to fallback to another field. Similar to yours, there is also logic for zero-padding as needed on discs and track numbers and to omit discs when there is only one. https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/v2.7/en/extending/scripting.html https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/v2.7/en/extending/script...
