\tunes\%s\%a\%a_%t
This worked well until I began to have a LARGE number of different artists… when the directories/files are copied to a smartphone, it takes a long time to scroll down to the directory for artists that are near the end of the alphabet - the top level directory under %s (streamname) is far too flat and large.
I'm not sure how you would implement this, but it would be nice to have a macro that would deliver only the first <n> characters of the artist, title or album. If I had that, I could have something like this:
\tunes\$s\%2a\%a_%t
Would result in a file path & name of
\tunes\stream_name\Be\Beatles_Sie Liebt Dich(She Loves You).mp3
The format of %<number>a instead of %a is just an example… I'm sure you could think of a best way to do this.
Thank you for a wonderful bit of software!
