Actions - Create Folder from ID3 Tag

Support
1

Im a new user and dont quite understand how to structure the Action fields to achieve an outcome.

I have recently done an HD recover and 99% of the Mp3s have blank filenames and are all in 1 folder. I need to rename them all based off their ID3 tags and re-folder them into a 'Artist - Album (Year)' folder name structure.

So far I've;

Created an 'Action Group' called 'Folder Sort'
Added a 'Convert Codepage' action type
? But what sequence of Fields do I add to create a Folder using ID3 information, then place all the Mp3s with those Fields into the created folder?

Thanks in advance!

[edit: I just used ChatGPT to write me a Python script that did it easily. But would be still interesting to know how to do it through mp3tag]

See the documentation:

What purpose was behind the use of this action?
To create filenames (and foldernames) it is generally not necessary to convert the codepage esp. not if the tags are encoded with UTF-16.
