Got 500 files properly tagged and I'd like to create subfolders according to their genre.  
Like this:  
mp3/dnb  
mp3/juke  
mp3/dubstep

how do I do it ?

thanks

I doubt that the / is a valid character for a folder.

Provided that you really have these user-defined genres in the field GENRE, you can  
use the function Convert\>Tag-Filename  
Format string: mp3\%genre%\%\_filename%
