Hi, I've been using Mp3Tag a long time, and I really love this software.
I'm grad that this is and open-source-project and I have a suggestion about classifying folders in to sub directory according to custom metadata that user have configured.
Here's a picture that represents the example of the function I'm suggesting.
PS : I'm sorry if you didn't understand what I was saying. 🙏
I don't speak English very well.

Mp3tag is NOT open-source.
Only the developer @Florian decides if a suggestion or a feature request will be implemented.
The community can help you to achieve what you like.

As a long time user you know that you can already rename your files and folders with the existing possibilities like:
> **[Rename Files – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/rename-files/#rename-files-based-on-tags)**
>
> Documentation on Tag to Filename, a converter to rename files based on tags. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.
and also
[Create Folder Structures based on Tags](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/rename-files/#create-folder-structures-based-on-tags)

wow, It seems the function I was thinking of is already in Mp3Tag!
I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me the function I haven't used before.
