Hey guys.

I'm just looking to rename my music folders. Here's the current structure:

Music/Artist/Album/whatever.mp3

I'd like to do a minor change, to this:

Music/Artist/[Year] Album/whatever.mp3

Mucked around a bit, but couldn't get it to work.

Thanks in advance for your help. I'll get the hang of this one of these days. 😉

Thanks - was just able to rename all my albums.

For anyone else who is not quite sure what "format value" and the rest of the terms mean, this page in the FAQ will help: [https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions)
