Is it possible to automate folder renaming and tagging? I have many folders, each folder is an album. I drag or use context menu to open it with mp3tag (all files are selected by default), if necessary I go to discogs for metadata, then I extract cover to same folder, than I save, it creates the playlist and finally I rename folder like the playlist with an action. This for each folder. Is there a way to automate it for all folders? Open folders, one folder at a time, select all files, open discogs and manual check/retrive, extract cover to folder, save and rename folder, goto to next folder

In short no - or at least only partially and not quite as you envisioned it. Esp. the discogs part in between requires GUI based interaction.
For all the other steps: load all folders, create an action group that does all what you want:

which would be an action of the type

for the cover and an action of the type

for \_DIRECTORY to rename the folder.
This would work on a file-by-file basis for all selected files in 1 go.
