Script that will rename a folder from the mp3/flac tags

Hi
I'm looking for a script that will rename a folder from the tags of the mp3 or flac file inside the folder.
If you have a folder named "Thriller", the script should rename it "Michael Jackson - 1982 - Thriller"
So, the script should 'open'/go inside the folder, isolate all .flac or .mp3 files, then select one of those files and extract the Artist + year + Album tags and rename the folder "Michael Jackson - 1982 - Thriller"
It will bypass the tag if it's empty
Hope this is possible and not too complicated...
Thank you for your help

Code: Select all
$folder = <curitem>;
$files = quicksearch("*.mp3;*.flac /n", $folder, , "s");
if ($files) {
foreach($file, $files, <crlf>, "e") {
$artist = property("#tag.artist", $file);
$year = property("#tag.year", $file);
$album = property("#tag.album", $file);
if ($artist && $year && $album) {
renameitem("$artist - $year - $album", $folder);
end true;
}
}
}

Hi
Since upgrading to 25.70 this script isn't working any more....
I noticed also that the built in 'Mp3 rename Special' isn't working any more either..
Can someone help me please ?
Thanks
