Rename folders based on ID3 / Flac YEAR tag

Hi,

I'd like to append the production year of a lot of albums in my collection to their respective folders (Structure is root\[Artist]\[Album] (Year) ). The rules allow to extract ID3 as well as FLAC tags from files, which is fine. Is there a possibility to use the so gathered info to rename the corresponding folder and append the year?

Thanks in advance

Re: Rename folders based on ID3 / Flac YEAR tag

There is a way to do it. You can add all folders (not files) for renaming and write a script for PascalScript rule which will extract the Year from the first found mp3/flac file within each folder.

The functions you would need to use are: WideScanDirForFiles and CalculateMetaTag. More info on Pascal Script wiki pages.
