Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew of anyway to do this.  Tag studio seems to be able to do most things so...

Is there any way of renaming a directory stucture using ID3 information.

Specificly, I have my collection organisted: ArtistName\AlbumName\mp3's and I want to rename all my album directorys using the 'YEAR' field in the corresponding ID3 tags.  For example:

C:\The Stone Roses\The Complete Stone Roses
C:\The Stone Roses\The Stone Roses

becomes:

C:\The Stone Roses\1995 - The Complete Stone Roses
C:\The Stone Roses\1989 - The Stone Roses

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Richard

It is not possible to rename the folder directly, but using the absolute path mode you can create a new directory structure to where the files will be moved, which will practically have the same result.

In that case, use the following auto-rename template:

Code Sample
c:\tempdir<\><Artist><\><Year> - <Album><\><OldFileName>


All mp3 files will then be moved to this new directory structure, and the old empty one can be deleted (just make sure that there are no non-mp3 files left in it before deleting it though).
