Hi!

I've been searching for this for a long time now, but without any luck.

After importing a CD to my hard drive, I end up with not only mp3s, but also a .log-file (from EAC), a .nfo-file (generated by Mp3tag) and different cover art pictures (gathered myself).

With Mp3tag I can easily move (and rename) the mp3s the way I like them, using "Format value" and "\_FILENAME". However, I have to manually move the .log-file, the .nfo-file and the pictures to the new location.

Is there any way to do this automatically in Mp3tag? Either by moving all the files in the source directory, or by choosing which file types to be moved.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as it would save me a lot of time!

Kind regards,  
Styles 🙂

You can use "Format value" and "\_DIRECTORY"  
It renames or moves the current folder.

Thank you Dano! I will try that the next time.
