Originally created by @DominicMe on GitHub (Jul 7, 2018).

I would like to preserve the original scene release name of the downloads. With movies/episodes I just used filenames as there is usually only 1 file per release. With tracks that's not really practical since the release is the album and not the single track.

It would be great if {Original Filename} token was also available in album renaming options. I assume {Original Filename} is the nzb/torrent/folder name like it is in sonarr/radarr as opposed to track file name. There are other tokens from tracks that would also be useful for album naming though not needed in my use case.

Are there perhaps better options to preserve the original release name for albums that I am missing?

Good suggestion. The [Original Filename] token could also be used as a means of repairing 'incorrect' file renames or a link back to the archive source in user storage.

I know this was already accepted and has been added to a few different releases, but this is the only thing holding me back from setting up and using Lidarr like Radarr and Sonarr. I would love to have this option enabled so I could get it fully running.

I would like to preserve the original directory name. I tried with {Original Title}/{Original Filename} but no luck, i got one folder for every track, instead one folder with the original release name.
