I am planning to rename my music server folder structure...MP3Tag can do this via the convert function easy enough:

%genre%\%artist%\%album%\%track% - %title%

However, I have folder.jpg and cover.jpg in the respective original folders, which are the structure Artist - Album Name

Is there a way to have mp3tag copy the folder.jpg and cover.jpg to the new destination folders based on the above written:

%genre%\%artist%\%album%\%track% - %title%

cheers and thanks in advance

If your albums are already in separate folders, you can use Convert \> Actions  
Make a  
Format Value action with  
Field: \_DIRECTORY  
Format string: c:\Musik\%genre%\%artist%\%album%

This renames your folders so all files in them move too.  
Finally rename only the file names.

Try it first on sample folders.

I've been trying to do this off and on for quite a while.

Thanks for setting it out so plainly.
