Hello,
Just to say apart from spotify this is the only windows program that I now still used. It is still the easiest and the best - Thankyou.
Everything works fine for me running in wine under linux (Arch) except I can't get it to rename directories (probably due to windows using \ and linux using /).
The action I create is
1. Format Value
2. Field: \_DIRECTORY
3. Format String: %artist% (%year%) - %album%
Need to know whether it is possible - If not I'll need to find another program to rename directories.
TIA

This doesn't work under Wine, which is one of the reasons we created [**puddletag**](http://puddletag.sourceforge.net/): http://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?showtopi...amp;#entry48365
