Create folders based on music tracks

[Palladio]

Hi friends, I have a folder containing a number of tracks from different artists, I want each track to be in a folder with the same name as the file. And all tracks related to each artist should all be in the same folder. Similar to the following example:

Artist ( folder) \ title (folder) \ title.mp3 ( The file itself ) & title.flac ( The file itself )

How can this be done?

Converters to rename files or to import tags

How to rename files based on tags? Renaming files, creating folders and complete directory structures from tags can be done by using the [:mt_ttf:] Converter > Tag - Filename with a format string. A format string is used to describe the structure of the desired filename. Besides using normal placeholders (such as %artist%, %title%, ...) and arbitrary text (e.g., Music) it also allows for separating folders with the backslash \ character.

This can be done with this code snippet:

Go to Tag - Filename

Set Format String:

@Palladio

newFolder%albumartist%%year% - %album% ( %artist% )%title%

If you do not want to see any surprises, I would suggest an absolute path:
D:\mymusic\%albumartist%\%year% - %album% ( %artist% )\%title%

and to get the same order of files as tracks on the album
D:\mymusic\%albumartist%\%year% - %album% (%artist%)\$num(%track%,2)_%title%
And: by adding %artist% to the album folder name, you may get several album folders if the artist varies e.g. Peter Gabriel "So" wth the track where he sings the duet with Kate Bush - the artist would be "Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush". TBH: I would leave out (%artist%)
