I'm overwhelmed after trying to figure out the interface and reading these forums, so instead of fumbling around for hours, I thought I'd ask if BRU can do what I need. I want to batch convert music folder names only (not files inside) to a uniform format using the info that's already in the folder name. Example is below.
Current format:
Bach (1987) - Violin Concertos No. 1
Bach_-_Violin_Concertos_No._2_-_1993
Beethoven-Sonatas-2002-In-Concert
Mozart - Early Compositions [2001]
Shostakovitch - Summer Favourites - 2009
Desired result:
Bach - 1987 - Violin Concertos No. 1
Bach - 1993 - Violin Concertos No. 2
Beethoven - 2002 - Sonatas In Concert
Mozart - 2001 - Early Compositions
Shostakovitch - 2009 - Summer Favourites
So the criteria I am hoping BRU can do are:
1. Strip away underscores, dashes, and brackets
2. Leave the first word of the folder name as is; add a "-" with spaces after it
3. Move any 4-digit numbers (as in years) after that first word; add a "-" with spaces after it
4. Render the remaining text and numbers at the end of the folder name
