Is it possible to use MP3TAG to rename the DIRECTORY from the ALBUM TAG?  
i.e. Path= C:\CLEANEDMP3\3 Doors Down\ The better life - ALBUM TAG = The Better Life  
in this case it would be only capitalizing the first letter of better and life, but to do that as a batch on  
a collection.

Thanks Thomas

You can create an action of the type "Format value" for \_DIRECTORY  
Format string: %album%
