Advanced Renaming

You have already learnt how to rename files by their tags' information. mp3Tag also helps you to work with folders.

Assume that you have thousands of .MP3, .WMA, .OGG, and .APE files with correct tags and want to sort all your music files by artist and album name. Please, select all folders where your music files are stored and click on Subfolders-button. Then click "Rename files"-button. In "Rename"-window you will see music files in the selected folders and their tags.

Beside renaming files by their tags' information, you can also create folders by format. Just use "\" character to separate folder name and file name.

Attention: you can create further subfolders if using "\" several times.

For example, if values of the song title, artist and album name are not empty then set "%A\%L\%T" format. This will create folder with "Artist"-field and subfolder with "Album"-field in the root folder and file with name "Title"-field will be moved to this path.

Configure the capitalization and letters replacement options before renaming files and press "Rename files"-button.

That's all ;)

If you want to move all files from subfolders to root folder simply type in "\" before format for files renaming like this: "\%A – %T".
