ceephax A quick question about Foobar and adding music to your computer library

So I recently got myself a snazzy new laptop and until a few hours ago, completely bereft of music asides from the catchy Mr. Scruff song that came with the computer. Now, I was wondering if there was a way to have Foobar create subfolders in my "My Music" folder whenever I drag and drop new music in Foobar? Like, I used to use iTunes a lot, and one of the upsides was that I could drag and drop new music into the iTunes library and the program would automatically create new folders.

Here's an example:

Say I drag and drop Unstoppable Phax Machine by Ceephax Acid Krew into my libary, and it's the first Ceephax I've downloaded, iTunes would create a Ceephax Acid Krew folder in my music folder, and within the newly created Ceephax folder, create an "Unstoppable Phax Machine" folder to store the MP3s. Also, whenever I edit the song titles or album titles or whatever in iTunes, it would edit the actual files and folders to match what I changed. Pretty neat, huh? I could do all my changes within iTunes itself and never have to mess around with the folders and all that jazz. I hope this made sense.

I want Foobar to do this, because I am lazy and like to have everything (music-related) perfect.

As a long time foobar user I can say that

- it won't automagically rename/reorganize your file/folder names when you edit the tags. Is just how it roll.

- it will allow you to organize your library according to whatever schema you want. For example, load your Ceephax album in a playlist, select the album tracks, right click > File Operations > Move to > ... If your collection is already tagged to your liking you can do this with multiple albums in 1 fell swoop.

- It'll monitor whatever folder(s) you specify to be in your library (Preferences - Media Library) and update the library database whenever you make changes to metadata. If you want to change the the file names / folder structure as well, you'll need to do that using File Operations.

Happy foobaring

Awesome. Sounds like I can get it close enough to what I need. I'll have to do some more research about the intriciaties behind foobar and get myself acquainted with the program. Thank you so much bob and xxx! <3

It was about time you transferred from iTunes to Foobar2000. What were you thinking?!

Well I've always used Foobar to listen to music, and iTunes to transfer music to my ipod, but now that I have a brand new laptop I want all that to be rolled up into one.

I don't have an ipod but this foobar component is right popular
