Within a folder, I have ~1000 unprocessed mp3 files.  I want to seperate this folder into two folders, one that has files with tags and one that has files without tags.  then I want to process the folder without tags and correct the folder that has tags.  How do I do this efficiently?

Thanks

To separate the files, do the following:

Use the "Direct rename files" tool with the following templates:

Expected:
Code Sample
<Custom1>.mp3


Output (advanced mode):
Code Sample
untagged<\><Custom1>.mp3


And activate the filter with the following settings:

Tag properties --> Tag presence --> Altogether --> No tag

Press execute and all the untagged files will be moved into a subfolder called "untagged".


If you want help with how to do the other things ("process the folder without tags and correct the folder that has tags") you might have to be a little bit more specific though. :)
