Masstagger - Check if folder exists

Hi everybody,

is there any possibilty for the masstagger to check if a folder already exists?
I have my library sorted in this way:
Letters from A - Z
-> Artist
--> Album
---> trackno - artist - title

Now sometimes I have a title from an artist, which is not from an album e.g. Snippets and I want them to appear in the folder of the artist, if it already exists, because titles from artist, where I do not have an album are directly in the folders A - Z.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
KlaDi

but what exactly are you trying to do with Masstagger?

I haven't used Masstagger, but when using "move/copy to" in foobar file operations, in the file name formatting you can put square brackets around something that you only want to be applied if the tag is present. For example:

%artist%\['['%date%']' %album%\][%disc number%-][%track% ]%title%

That is what I use to organize my music. If the date and album tags are present, the files will be placed inside album folders. If not, the stuff in the square brackets is ignored and they go directly in the artist folder. Could that be what you are looking for?
