Hi there, I want to change my directory naming scheme but I have too many to change it manually.
I'm sure there must be a way in mp3tag to do this, I simply want to change or create a directory according to the song/album tags.
%artist% - %album% for example.
Any ideas? 🙂
Many thanks

"Convert \> Tag - filename" with format string:
%artist% - %album%\%\_filename%
creates a new folder.

Sweet, thanks 🙂
I guess there's no way of making it rename the existing folder?
