Hello! New to Picard here, and I’m trying to sort my music library using the default naming script for use in my Plex media server.
According to the Plex docs, the best naming convention to use is
“Music/ArtistName/AlbumName/DiscNumberTrackNumber - TrackName.ext.”
And the default naming script works pretty well for this, however in some more niche albums (particularly Japanese) I’m encountering an issue where it creates inconsistent long folder names where there are multiple album artists.
For example, I have three albums from the Lucky Star anime where the album artist should be the same but the three folders gets named to the following (linking to MusicBrainz listing):
泉こなた( CV.平野綾), 柊かがみ( CV.加藤英美里), 柊つかさ( CV.福原香織), 高良みゆき( CV.遠藤綾) 他
泉こなた(平野 綾)、柊かがみ(加藤英美里)、柊つかさ(福原香織)、高良みゆき(遠藤 綾)
泉こなた（平野 綾）、柊かがみ（加藤英美里）、柊つかさ（福原香織）、高良みゆき（遠藤 綾）
1.) These three “artists” should ideally be under one folder, as each one is the same but with slight variations
2.) Plex doesn’t do a good job on handling multiple artists as a folder name, so is it possible to just have one contributor as the artist name for the folder?
I realize that this could probably be solved with a more advanced naming script, but I’ve tried to edit the default one with no luck. Any advice is appreciated!
