Mp3 Sorting/Archiving Software

Magic Monkey · 10-01-2003 1:18am #1

I'm looking for a (Windows) program that will look at a certain directory, sort the mp3's therein by artist, and then create (sub)directories and move all associated files together, e.g. all Overseer songs in "\Overseer", all Beatnuts into "\Beatnuts", etc.. as it's laborious to do manually, due to the awkward names of some mp3's.

Anyone know of one?

MusicMatch Jukebox is ok for sorting through and reorganising mp3's. I have a load that I encoded badly so am going through them adding the correct tags and putting them in the right places. Not sure if it moves them around or just their tags. I know it can rename the files from the tag details. But be careful with it. Its easy to rename a bunch of files incorrectly with it.

No I dont think music match creates dir's etc
but it is fantatisic for doing other stuff with tag's

real jukebox is good for that, it can create folders based on artist, album etc...

ie.

c:\mp3s\stevie wonder\innervisions\living for the city.mp3

it can also rename the mp3s themselves in this way

oooh that looks interesting. Going to have to try that out. I can't get on with the music match interface.

Thanks Dave et al.

I have one slight problem though. When I go to "Tags", "Auto Organise Files", specify my root directory (C:\mp3), leave the other two options as default, select "move files" then click ok... nothing happens! Any ideas?
