Rename and move to folder

Support
1

I need to rename a file and move it to a set of folders based on the tag details. For example, I have a file which has the following tags:

Artist: ABC
Title: When Smokey Sings
Album: Look Of Love: The Very Best Of ABC

How can I rename the file to the following:
ABC - When Smokey Sings.mps

...and create the following folder structure:

ABC/Look Of Love; The Very Best Of ABC/ABC - When Smokey Sings.mps

Thanks in advacnce for your help

Simply use the converter Tag - Filename with a format string like

$validate(%artist%\%album%\%artist% - %title%,;)

Thanks, sounds so simple. :slight_smile:

Is there a 2025 answer to this? I have a gazillion MP3s in \MyMusic burned from CDs of yesteryear, and while they ARE tagged, they are not in folders which Plex really really likes. So I need a way to hopefully automatically put into folders

Why not? Just try it:

Simply use the converter Tag - Filename with a format string like
$validate(%artist%\%album%\%artist% - %title%,;)

If you have some more detailed questions, please open a new thread.
(This one is 17 years old...)

And please include more details about your current file structure and the wished new file structure. We don't know what your Plex "likes".

There is also an answer in the documentation:

Perfect! thank you.
I didn't get past the icons in Convert. Didn't see/know where the code went.
Going to be short work from here.
