Hello there, I have a large number of files in one folder. They all belond to different artists and albums. If I use DIRECTORY, everything gets moved to the folder of the first album the action is used against. Is there a way to have each album go into its respective Artist>Album directory without …

[image] sheepdisease: Would I have to create a separate action to include .jpeg? [image] sheepdisease: Could some please confirm? Isn't this something that you can easily find out yourself? Or yes, to confirm: the file system reacts only to those strings that you specify. But as wild…

How to create directory structures based on the tags and move the files? When you're using a backslash in a format string, Mp3tag will create a directory from the part of the format string in front of a backslash. Here is an example that creates new directories under D:\Music : D:\Music\$left(%a…

The HowTo says Renaming files, creating folders and complete directory structures from tags can be done by using the [:mt_ttf:] Converter > Tag - Filename with a format string But you used _DIRECTORY instead of the _FILENAME So @ryerman 's answer was correct - the application was not.

Okay, so is there a way for mp3tag to check for any jpg or jpeg files in a folder and then ember them? If there is, I can add an action before running the file rename/directory change.

An action of the type "Import cover from file" with a format string like "*.jpg which takes the first jpg file found in the current folder. Or you have a naming scheme to identify which cover file belongs to which file.

Converters to rename files or to import tags FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
