I got some CD's on my harddrive, whioch I want to convert using the Foobar's Converter. Some CD's are made by various artists (compilation cd's).
If CD's are made by only one performer, the map structure is as follows:
Artist - Album\
But, If a CD has more artists (like complilation albums), the map structure should be as follows:
Album\
Has anyone an idea how to specify this using foobar's scripting capabilities? At this moment, most of the audio is stored as: 'Album - Artist' or 'Album'. So cd's that belong together are together. But some time ago, I made a mistake and now, also some compilation cd's are stored as 'artist - album', which means most of the time there is one file in a map. That's why I can't use the path to specify this.
Hopefully someone knows how to do this.

With regards,
Ernst

use the %album artist% tag on the various artist albums. map your structure as such:

$if2($meta(album artist),$meta(artist)) - Album

Do a search for album artist for info on the tag, its everywhere.
