In foobar you could use Masstagger component with 'Guess values from filename' ... (This does the same as the right-click tracks > Properties > Tools button > Automatically Fill Values - except Masstagger lets you save it as a preset to run quickly)using the metatogger, I rename the tags in the track files from the folder names. I do not know how to configure it in the case when you need to cut off the part from the beginning and the tail %album artist%\%date% - %album%\%discnumber%\ How to replace CD1 - Album CD2 - Bonus to a simple number without "CD" and ending with " - Album" If using Masstagger, select all album tracks > right-click > Tagging > Manage Scripts Clear button (to remove previous) Add > 'Guess values from filename' -%album artist%\%date% - %album%\CD%discnumber% - %discsubtitle%\%tracknumber% %title% ^ The DISCNUMBER field should only contain a number, therefore the above would move "Album" or "Bonus" text to DISCSUBTITLE field. (Note: You may need to fix the %tracknumber% %title% part to match your filenames, if they have a dot . or - for example, make the pattern match) Check the preview to see the result before running the script. (You can also save it as a preset to run from context menu, and then make it a toolbar button / keyboard shortcut)ARTIST --YEAR - ALBUM ------CD1 As an option, I would like to see your design-add the name of the third nesting folder to the name of the second folder and enclose it in parentheses Name Album (CD2 - Bonus) What are you trying to rename here? If you mean tags, really the ALBUM tag should not contain that information - it should only have the album name. Instead, just use title formatting in your playlist grouping to show that information using the various tags. For example make a playlist grouping like this -%album artist% - %album%[ '('CD%discnumber%[ - %discsubtitle%]')'] Cheers
