Hi All,

I'm new to MP3TAG,

I want to **copy** my collection of MP3 file's (3000+) to another disk with a rename based on the mp3 tag. I have searced the forum and i did not found how to do this, is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Peter.

Why not copy using Explorer / whatever and then rename the copied files? I guess there is no other way you can do it.
