[Feature Request] A way to change the default folder structure.

🚀 Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm not a fan of the default folder structure when downloading an album (Artist/Album/Bitrate/files) and I'd like all this info (and more!) to be displayed in the name of a unique folder containing all the files.

---

Describe the solution you'd like

An option to choose your default folder structure using tags like %artist% - %album% - %year% - %bitrate%... Something like that.

Describe alternatives you've considered

+1 for this request.
A single folder of this type would be ideal.
Artist - Album (Year) [Quality]
Thanks!!!

Additionally to the folder structure, that should also include a filename template.

+1 for this as well. Being able to format the folder structure in Plex's preferred manner (Artist > Album >Tracks) would be helpful

%artist%\%date% - %album%\%tracknumber%. %title%

you can use this python script if you want as a workaround until its implemented

for renaming bigger folders or subfolder structures with "album xyz [ID 12345]" total commander 64 is also a nice tool to delete [xxxxxx] parts with gui, ofc you can also realise it via cli/python script

usage at own risk

CHANGE IT TO YOUR BASE_DIRECTORY @ the bottom of the script

USE A TEST FOLDER WHEN FIRST RUNNING IT TO NOT ACCIDENTLY DELETE DATA

import os
import shutil

def move_files_and_cleanup(base_directory):
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(base_directory, topdown=False):
        # Check if the current folder matches the specific bitrate folder names
        if os.path.basename(root) in ["FLAC (24bit-48kHz)", "FLAC (16bit-44.1kHz)"]:
            parent_dir = os.path.dirname(root)  # Get the parent directory

            # Move files from the bitrate folder to the parent directory
            for file in files:
                file_path = os.path.join(root, file)  # Full path of the file
                new_path = os.path.join(parent_dir, file)  # New target path

                # Only move the file if it does not already exist in the target folder
                if not os.path.exists(new_path):
                    shutil.move(file_path, new_path)
                    print(f"Moved: {file_path} -> {new_path}")
                else:
                    print(f"File already exists at target: {new_path}")

            # Remove the bitrate folder if it is empty
            if not os.listdir(root):  # Check if the directory is empty
                try:
                    os.rmdir(root)
                    print(f"Deleted empty bitrate folder: {root}")
                except Exception as e:
                    print(f"Error deleting directory {root}: {e}")
