Hi Florian,  
I work with lots of karaoke files.  
.mp3 and .cdg  
I was the one who suggested mp3tag renamed the .cdg as well as the .mp3  
This has helped me lots over the years.  
I now want to move large quantities of files from one folder to another.  
When I select the files, mp3tag moves the .mp3 but does not move the .cdg file.  
Could this be implemented please?  
Thank you,

Lee.

You could have a look at the changelog:

> **[Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor - History of changes](https://www.mp3tag.de/en/changelog.html)**
>
> Almost complete history of changes of the development of Mp3tag

"[2018-11-22] FIX: CDG files were not renamed with corresponding MP3 files anymore (since v2.90e).

Ha!  
Just thought I would get a reply.  
Never thought to scan the changelog...  
Thank you

The entry from the changelog refers to renaming files (e.g., via a converter or directly in the file list).

It looks to me like you're referring to the "Move" feature (i.e., "Edit \> Move...") which doesn't handle the corresponding \*.cdg files at the moment.

In case I find time to work on this, I'll keep you posted here.

So it should work if you rename a file with a pattern that also includes a path.

It would also be useful if it deleted cdg+mp3 pairs using CTRL-DEL. I would pay real money for an efficient tool for dealing with these (duplicate search, etc.). As it is, MP3Tag is the best option out there.
