I've been using MP3 tag studio for two or three years now and have always been very happy with it. Recently I undertook a mammoth re-encoding session (something like 500 CD's) and at the moment have them all sat in one folder all tagged up with no place to go. I can't find a facility in tag studio to move mp3s into folders based on their artist, album, track and title, ie. on the root of my mp3 folder I have all the artists so if I pick an artist 'Aphex Twin' for example, and open his folder I have presented to me a set of folders each containing an album. Inside the album folder are the mp3s named with the track number and title.
Does anyone know wether there tag studio or tag and rename are able to do this. Or is there another program that will do the trick.
I have searched on this and drew a blank.

Yes, as far as I know, Tag Studio will do this using its "rename and organize MP3s" tab.

You do it as part of the file name. Everyplace you want a new folder in the file name, you click the "add dir" button or enter a backslash into the file name.

Make sure you have the latest tag studio.

doh! It would probably pay to look at software in more detail next time. I remember looking in the help file but couldn't find anything under folders or directories.

Tony, you're a star!

You ripped all your mp3s into one folder? You might want to check your encoding program, and set it to save in seperate subfolders.

To be honest it's the first time I've re-encoded in a while. Originally I ripped a disc at a time when I needed it. Before I had the empeg and before my homebrew carplayer I didn't see the point of having my music collection on MP3, if I wanted to listen to a CD I played it on my stereo, and if I wanted to take it with me on the move I used to put it on minidisc and play it on my ancient MZR-30.
It's only recently I bothered to encode everything and I didn't think that razorlame could recurse folders for encoding.
