Are you talking about sorting out the problem below or what you should do in the normal course of ripping CDs? It shouldn't be necessary to have Mp3tag do anything with regard to directories during the normal course of ripping CDs. You can have EAC automatically create the artist\album subdirectories by setting it up in the EAC Options (F9) Filename tab. See 'this guide for a good explanation' (http://www.teqnilogik.com/tutorials/eac.shtml#SettingEACOptions). > Unfortunately, I already started putting my FLAC-files in the same > directory. If I want to start all over: How many CDs? If it's just a few you can probably easily straighten them out manually by sorting the directory by Date Modified, which would gather the CDs together in the order that they were ripped (or last edited by Mp3tag). Then just create your artist and album directories and move the files to the new directories. If that's too much work, then Mp3tag can sort them out. Use the Convert > Tag - Filename (Alt+1) feature. Open the folder in Mp3tag and select all of the tracks in the file view. Launch the Tag - Filename converter and enter a format string according to how you want the files named. If you have backslashes ("\") in the format string Mp3tag will create subdirectories. For example: %artist%\%album%\$num(%track%,2) %title% Would create an artist\album folder hierarchy, with the part after the second backslash being the filename. If you like to put things like artist and album names into the filename you can easily do that too. For example: %artist%\%album%\%artists% - %album% - $num(%track%,2) - %title% -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79186
