Building a directory from the filename

[Floyd Gilmour]

Does anyone know of a program that can read a filename and build an
appropriate directory for it? I have a bunch of mp3s that are loose
while the majority are already in folders. I can rename the mp3 files
"artist hyphen album hyphen title".mp3 but I need something that can
read the hypen and create the subdirectories accordingly. Any ideas?

Define the algorithm (method) for naming the directory. No one can
read your mind (yet).

I'm assuming you want to change "artist-album-title.mp3" into

\somewhere\artist\album\title.mp3.

I haven't used it but this sounds like what you're looking for.

ID3-TagIT <http://www.id3-tagit.de/english/index.htm> has an organize
function that does what you're looking for.

Latest version requires .net but an earlier one (that works fine)
doesn't. Both available from the download page.

The Godfather <http://users.otenet.gr/~jtcliper/tgf/> has a similar
function but I prefer ID3-TagIT.

mp3tag-it from http://www.id3-tagit.de/ will do exactly what you're looking
for. I believe it to be freeware, but I've had it on my mchine for so long
that I won't say I haven't given him anything for it - I've certainly
gotten my moneys worth in either case.

Seconded. If I could only have one MP3 tag editor, this would be it.

Beautiful!!! ID3-tagIT Does EXACTLY what I wanted and I didn't have to
define an algorythm! Thanks for your help
