Is there a way to take an album directory, and rename and move it (eg, c:\music\%artist% - %album%), keeping the mp3s together with the rest of the files in the folder (log file, artwork)?

Not yet. The old folder will remain on the HDD and any non-audio files will still be there.

Now the following is possible:  
Turn  
C:\Music\ABBA  
into  
C:\Music\ABBA-The Hits

or  
C:\Music\ABBA  
into  
C:Music\A\ABBA  
**while moving all other files.**

What's not possible is  
turn  
C:\Music\ABBA  
into  
C:\ABBA

Here's written how to do it: [/t/3499/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/3499/1)  
\ can be used to create a new subfolder
