I've been using Mp3tag for a long time now but only started really using the ability to create subfolders inside the working directory. I know new folders are created from the working directory but is it possible to have folders/files start from the favorite directory instead?

I have a lot of un-tagged files in a folder labeled:

J:\Unsorted

and all my nicely tagged and sorted files are actually on:

K:\Media\My Music

I'd like a way to specify the Favorite directory that I set up in General options as the root or starting folder for files. Perhaps:

%favorite%\%artist%\%album%...

or some variation:

%favfolder%  
%favdir%  
%favoritedirectory%  
etc

This feature would help considerably with my organizing tasks.

Thoughts? Can this already be done?

Thanks,  
Shawn

You can use K:\Media\My Music\%artist%\%album%\
