You will need to separately run your mp3tag FILE > TAG actions on these differently organized directories. For example, just pull up the ARTIST/ALBUM/Track organized items and then use FILENAME > TAG for them, etc. You should be able to easily do the "police" example you mention. This would be the following in the mask: \%artist%\%album%\%track% %title% See picture. In this example, I have "x:\music\flac\mp3AAConly\10,000 Manics\Blind Man's Zoo\tracks.... .........................................................................................................\In My Tribe\tracks... and so on. That is, several albums under one artist. You can see in the pic that mp3tag is previewing that CONVERT > Filename to Tag, previews the artist, album, track #, and track name properly. By the way, if the "mask" is even a little off, you won't see any PREVIEW in the popup box. For example, in my case, if my mask above had "%track%-%title%" instead, i.e., a dash between track number and name, I wouldn't see the preview info. because the filename does NOT have the "dash". So you can easily preview when you have it right. But again, you'll have to do this separately for differently organized directories. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: CropperCapture[1].jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13683| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96244 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
