There is no proper way in the interactive interface of Mp3tag, but you may create an export script, which can count the folders, like this example script ...

**1: $filename($getEnv('USERPROFILE')'\Desktop\Mp3tag.Export.txt',UTF-8)** 

**2: $loop($folderdepth(%\_folderpath%))  
3: 'Folderdepth: '$folderdepth(%\_folderpath%)  
4: $loop(%\_directory%,1)  
5: %\_parent\_directory%'|'%\_directory%  
6: $loopend()  
7: 'Folder count: '%\_max\_counter%  
8: $loopend()  
9: 'Folderpath count: '%\_max\_counter%**
