Hello all,
I did a quick search on this and did'nt seem to come up with anything.
Is it possible through an action or otherwise to create or rename a folder based on a tag?
Example: I have a folder named "Pearl Jam - Ten (@320kbs)" containing the mp3 files...after editing the tags I would like to change the folder to say "Ten [1991]"
Thanks for your time,
ele7en11

Sorry everyone I just figured it out....created an action using the \_DIRECTORY field and a format string of %album% '['%year%']'.
Again sorry, just discovered this great program this morning and I am still figuring it out.
