Npoess Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) I'm a bit tired of having to organize music and folders every time I've got something new. Does anyone know if there's a program or a method that can auto-rename files, and music folders after album names? I'm already aware of MediaMonkey and MusicBrainz, but they can't auto-rename folders as far as I know.

Disappearer Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Mp3tag. Truly the best tag editor, I don't see why anyone would need anything else. It can be as simple or advanced as you want, depending on your needs and it's freeware. Once you set artist, album title and whatever else you want (a task which can also be automated by fetching info from discogs and other online databases) you are able to rename your folder(s) any way you please with the press of a button. I've chosen [artist -year- albumtitle] for example, it's 100% customizable based on rules you set. Give it a try and if you need any help let me know.

Joyrex Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 If you want something to do most of the heavy lifting for you, then TuneUp (iTunes/Windows Media Player addon) works really well - you do have to spot-check now and then to make sure it's right (especially on the more esoteric stuff), but overall it does a good job: http://www.tuneupmedia.com/ Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures Follow WATMM on Twitter: @WATMMOfficial Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/81729-organizing-music-the-easiest-way/#findComment-2108820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakmassive Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I drag music into Picard and in the options you can set it to move the files into an album directory inside an artist directory. If either doesn't exist already, it creates it. Still, I have so much music unorganized with sloppy tags. Mostly web releases, live sets, random tracks, etc that I'd have to rename manually since they aren't in the Musicbrainz database.

Ifeelspace Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 The sadist in me enjoys tagging things manually. I use MP3tag for this Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/81729-organizing-music-the-easiest-way/#findComment-2108844 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The file operations component in foobar does these sort of things easily.
