Hi All, I'm using Mp3tag in conjunction with dBpoweramp to clean up my library. I thought I'd easily be able to move everything to a new location on my NAS using the Tag-Filename function, but quickly found out it didn't move the entire contents of the directory, Folder.jpg was left behind in the …

Michael_vdW: .... I found out about the tag-tag function using the field _DIRECTORY. My format is like this: I:\MusicNEW\%albumartist%\%album%[$num(%discnumber%,1)-]$num(%track%,2) - %title% So basically I'd like everthing to be moved to a new location with one folder for multidisc albums an…

Thank you ohrenkino. Currently my multidisc cd's are in their own folders with , disc 1 , disc 2 at the end. I'm guessing that firstly moving everything to a new directory will put all the tracks from disc 1 and disc 2 in the same folder? Then it'll be easy to rename the individual files from ther…

[image] ohrenkino: If you want to move a whole DIRECTORY then you should leave out anything that has to do with the filename. Yeah, I guess I kinda missed this one [:huh:] :smiley:

[image] ohrenkino: That is why I cannot answer your question as I do not know if you already have separate folders for multi-disc albums or whether this should be the result after moving the files. Current situation is like this: I:\AC-DC\Live, Disc 1 I:\AC-DC\Live, Disc 2 I'd like the con…

Michael_vdW: Current situation is like this: I:\AC-DC\Live, Disc 1 I:\AC-DC\Live, Disc 2 I'd like the contents of both the above folders moved to: I:\MusicNEW\AC-DC\Live And then rename the files to have the optional discnumer added. I hope this clarifies it. I assume that "Live" is th…

[image] ohrenkino: I assume that "Live" is the name of the album. So an action of the type "Format value" (or the Convert>Tag-Tag function) for _DIRECTORY and the Format string: i:\musicnew\%artist%\%album% should move all the files from the 2 folders to a single (new) one. If you already ha…

Michael_vdW: OK, thanks! Will I be asked for every double Folder.jpg? That would mean having to click "overwrite" about 150 times I guess... In that regard I'd better make sure the multidisc albums are handled first... you could remove the "hidden" and "system" attribute first: Open a Com…

[image] ohrenkino: you could remove the "hidden" and "system" attribute first: Open a Command shell, enter: attrib -h -s folder.jpg /s There's no hidden or system attribute set, just the archive attribute, which to my understanding is normal I:\10CC\Greatest Hits 1972-1978>attrib Folder.jp…

you could remove the "hidden" and "system" attribute first:
Open a Command shell, enter:
attrib -h -s folder.jpg /s

Can mp3tag move AND rename ALL files from one directory to another?
