Where is your problem? See e.g. here the thread about albums being split up into subfolders by disc: > [@Help with music library reorganization](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/help-with-music-library-reorganization/41421): > > Hello, this is my first post here so don't be surprised if I sound like a novice. I'm reorganizing my music library which is a complete mess. The tags are pretty accurate but the file naming and folder hierarchy is a complete catastrophe. The library is 5 years old and houses 40000 songs. I'm trying to come up with a format that looks like this: Files would be named like "Track number - Title" Directory would be at a specific folder and so it's like "Absolute directory\Album Artist - Album - Y… Even though this shows the way in the windows world, it also shows the underlying principles which are no different in the Mac world. I think it is a question of workflow: first send all the files to their separate folders which means that you first deal with folders where you collected files which really should be in separate folders.
