Is it possible to automate this with actions?

Right now I have all my files in one folder: ![](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/e6a938f99d899a4c305cd276616e43f877cb1069.png)

What I would like it to do is automatically create new folders like so: ![](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/5ad80004640b4d76678993576ede6483394f1c0c.png)

This is what I have tried so far: ![](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/f3df08d543dee0694cb0c1ff452d1e8c4c3f8534.png)

But that only created a folder called "Disc 1" and also moves the "Disc 2" files into it. ☹

If this is possible, and anyone has a solution, I would appreciate it!

Thank you!

If you want to move files from one folder to several others, you have to modify the _FILENAME and not the DIRECTORY  
so a mask for moving files in respect to the discnumber could look like this:  
Disc $num(%discnumber%,2)\%artist%%album%_$num(%track%,2)\_%title%

PS: I could not really see your dumps - please attach them to the post with the means of this forum and don't store them on other servers.

Oh! Thanks! That actually makes a lot of sense! I feel a bit dumb now. It worked like a charm. 🙂

And sorry! I will keep that in mind for the future!
