They have to be done that way to match where they go.
For instance Reggae has 19xx - 2023, so depending what I'm getting for music they don't all go into the top level folder Reggae.
So I have to create an action for that, when it's just easier to grab those blocks of tracks and move them.
For working in the Singles folder actions are great because everything is in one folder.
After that, I need to make sure tracks go where they are supposed to manually.
Like I was saying I realize I can make one action group and put all the conditions under that group but it it's way easier to do it manully.
Not to mention I'm working between Windows and MacOS so there is that issue. Plus the issue with sub-folders under the parent folders.
If you have that additional level with YEAR, then a folder structure likemusic/%genre%/%year%/%_filename%
Yes, but now you're only scratching the surface of where things go.
I cannot make a condition for every case in my folder structure.
It's easier to select the tracks and move them.
FYI, I've started working on a dedicated function to copy and move files from within Mp3tag this week. It probably won't be released before the end of the month — I'll keep you posted.
Hopefully this is for both Mac and Win versions
It's for Mac only — because the Windows version already has this
I thought this was more along the lines similar to this other thread.
Just another thought, nothing more. I came to the following conclusions a long time ago. Foobar and Mp3tag both are among the greatest creations. But there are thousands of users' demands. Instead of waiting in vain, i prefer to adapt myself: i divide most of my tasks between the possibilities of the "Musical Trinity" Mp3tag+foobar+Total Commander. If the mountain will not come to Mohammed, Mohammed will go to the mountain.
Was hoping that when using the Copy command, we would see an option there to include a way to define a subdirectory using tag fields.
No, that's something else and might possibly be tackled another time. This is really only about the original request of
Got it. Sorry to hijack the conversation here.
I've just released Mp3tag for Mac v1.8 with support for copying and moving files from within the app.
Nice!! I will have to test it when I get back home.
Works EXCELLENT, Thank you very much!
