I thought for sure I saw this somewhere. If so, could someone point me to the post? If not, what I would like to do is to create a folder named for the Artist of an MP3 and have the MP3(s) moved to that folder.

Thanks!

Just use the converter Tag - Filename with a format string like

%artist%\\%\_filename%

I needed to do this. A quick search, and sixteen years later, your advice is spot-on. Thanks!!
