Sorry I'm sure this is a dumb question but I couldnt find an answer searching the forum.

I've used MP3Tag to sort out all the tags (awesome program 🙂 ) but now I want to rearrange all the music files into album folders (not artist) and I can't find how to do it either with MP3Tag or WMP?

For Mp3tag start here:

For how to do it with WMP, better ask one of the Forums designed to handle WMP questions.

That's what I needed. I hadn't used the actions/scripts before but a bit of trial and error with the example provided and my music folder is much more organised, Thanks 🙂.
