Hi friends!  
I have thousands of music files in one folder and it's sub-folders. I want to copy my songs in to separate songs folders as per albums. My album names are proper in album tag. So how can I use MP3Tag for separate the songs?  
(I unable to find the answer for this question in FAQs.)

Thank you.

I would not only separate by album but also by artist - there are so many "Greatest Hits" albums around that it would be puzzling to find them all in just one folder.  
So, I think a good order would be: Artist \> year and album \> tracks

Use Convert \>Tag - Filename  
enter a mask like this which follows the above example:  
%artist%\%year% - %album%$num(%track%,3) \_ %title%

Yeah... it's solved my problem. Thanks ohrenkino!  
In my above case I used '%album%\%\_filename%' after my folder path. So all files moved into that path and with sub-folders of album names.
