I believe that the best method would be to implement an if-like statement, meaning: If exists: use, else do this and let the user choose. In the Simple View this could be done easily, for the Advanced View there should be some kind of markup-language that does this. For example do it the way Winamp does (Or like it, has been a while since i used it): Put it in Brackets with the replacement text after a comma like this. [%tag, ifEmptyString]. If no Option is specified like [%tag] just leave it out. In a very advanced Version one could for example also specify it like this: [Disc %disc] so that additional String could be made dependent on the existance of the tag. I believe that implementing such a solution is much better than hardcoding the coice, as leaving the tag out (like it is done now i think) would be better for cases like %disc etc, putting something like "Unknown Artist" would be better for %artist.
