I wish i could use patterns with symbol "" which means creating a directory. So that after Mp3Tag works over my freshly downloaded mp3s, i would have directory structure, for instance: _"%a\%n - %t"_, which will make such a file: _"Ayumi Hamasaki\13 - Voyage.mp3"_.

Thanks for your attention!

This is already possible with the converter Tag - Filename.

Simply use a formatstring like **%a\%n - %t** and Mp3tag will create a new subdirectory to the current working directory named by the album name.

With best regards,

The newest development build allows this in Filename - Filename conversion as well.

There's even a new final release which supports that 🙂
