I have an external flash card loaded with music with cleaned up metadata, but ~1500 files were synced with a folder structure of \Music\Unknown - <Album>\<filename>. This is negatively affecting my headunit that I'm trying to play the music out of. I'm trying to do a bulk clean up of those files using the Auto-Organize Files tool, but when I try to use the "Move and Rename files to new destination based on file tags" option, it creates copies of those directories instead. I don't want to modify the file names, only the directories they're contained in. So my destination path is currently (../$if(<Album Artist>,<Album Artist>,<Artist>)$if(<Album>, - <Album>,)), this yields the intended structure but I can't figure out how to run this without making copies of the original files in the new directory, since that would take too long.
Thanks for any help.
