Magnus,
I understand how to write an absolute path, for say, the "Auto rename (from tag)" tool, but it would be also really handy if I could write an absloute path that would COPY the file, rather than MOVE the file.
Or is it already in there, and I just haven't found it yet?

No, it always moves the files, but if you want to copy them the same effect could simply be achieved by backing up the original files first.

Sure, you could, but sometimes I want to make copies of files based on arguments in the filtering tool of MP3TS.
Eg. I might want to scan a folder (with 1000+ MP3's in it) for all files with a bitrate <160, and copy them to another location, not just move them.

Perform the operation in Mp3/Tag Studio, make a copy of the resulting directory structure with the moved files, and then perform an undo of the operation in Mp3/Tag Studio. That should be equivalent.
