[Feature] Advanced file naming

Hey!

I used to use yt-dlp's function to rename the music I downloaded to Artist - Album.
This is not possible with Parabolic?

Maybe something to just execute an exiftool snippet after download?
The one I currently use is:

exiftool '-FileName<${Artist;} - ${Album;}.%e'

I used to use yt-dlp's function to rename the music I downloaded to Artist - Album.

What was yt-dlp's "function" to do this?

Closing until more information is provided.

That would presumably be the -o, --output [TYPES:]TEMPLATE argument.

I came across this issue because I too want to specify a more customisable download\output path for music, specifically ;)

The current argument I use in cmdline yt-dlp is:-
--output "C:\WHATEVER\%(artist)s/%(album)s/%(playlist_index)s. %(artist)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s"

which gives rise to an ordered directory structure of, say:-

C:\WHATEVER\Famous Person\Real Album Name\1. Famous Person - First Song Name.mp3
C:\WHATEVER\Famous Person\Real Album Name\2. Famous Person - Second Song Name.mp3
C:\WHATEVER\Other Famous Person\Other Real Album Name\1. Other Famous Person - Other First Song Name.mp3
C:\WHATEVER\Other Famous Person\Other Real Album Name\2. Other Famous Person - Other Second Song Name.mp3
etc.

Currently Parabolic only gives me:-

C:\WHATEVER\Album - Real Album Name\1 - First Song Name.mp3
C:\WHATEVER\Album - Real Album Name\2 - Second Song Name.mp3
C:\WHATEVER\Album - Other Real Album Name\1 - Other First Song Name.mp3
C:\WHATEVER\Album - Other Real Album Name\2 - Other Second Song Name.mp3
etc.

Is there any chance you might implement the --ouput argument in some manner, or at least allow for the addition of a way for a user to add some of the more complex yt-dlp arguments manually ?
