Example: $if($stricmp($directory(%path%,2),podcast),,$swapprefix(%artist%)\|[%date% ][%album%]\|[%discnumber%][%tracknumber% ]%title%) It goes back 2 directory levels, checks if the directory name is "podcast", and if so ignores those files. (exa. path = D:\Audio\Podcast\<podcast name>\<file name>.mp3) This post has been edited by trout: Feb 16 2013, 18:32
