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).

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.

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