I am looking to sync my music to a portable device, but maintain a similar directory structure to what I have now on my computer. Here's an example of my scenario:
On my computer, file is located at:
C:\Subfolder1\Subfolder2\Grouping1\Artist\Album\filename
On my portable device, I would like it to be located at:
<Device>\Music\Grouping1\Artist\Album\filename
However, I cannot "extract" the Grouping1\Artist\Album that I need. I am able to do it as a virtual tag, but that does not help when trying to use it as a Naming Template.
The issue seems to occur because of the fact that backslashes are removed from the path and replaced with spaces, as described
in this post. I am able to use the "replace" function to get rid of the "C:\Subfolder1\Subfolder2", but the problem then is that I am left with "Grouping1 Artist Album", because the slashes are removed. If all of the "groupings" and artists and albums were one word and did not have spaces, I could then go back and replace spaces with slashes (and get Grouping1\Artist\Album), but that is of course not the case.
Does anyone know of a way around this?
