Hello,

Is it possible to move files based on tag information in Mp3Tag?

I want to move files from my incoming directory after they've been tagged into the [Genre]/[Artist]/[Year]-[Album] directory.

Thanks,  
Michael Koehmstedt

Hello Michael,

yes - you can do this using the converter Tag - Filename with a formatstring like %genre%/%artist%/%year%-%album%/$num(%track%,2)-%title%
