Auto-Organize not working

[Dabog]

Hi there

For some reason, my auto-organize seems to not be working. When I try to organize an album or even one song, a message pops up saying:

An error occured while moving file: C:\x to C:\y (obviously x and y are examples..) Do you want to try again?

I have tried reinstalling MM from scratch, and there are no unusual characters in my organizing path. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Are X or Y hidden or System folders (such as a user accounts Documents, while you're on an account without Admin rights)?

[Dabog]

Nope, the folder im moving the music from is My Documents -> Downloads. Im moving the files to My Documents -> My Music

And I have admin rights.

sync your tags to the songs first see if that fixes your error

Sorry to sound like an idiot, but how would I go about that?

[monkey hi fi]

select all the songs in the listview area.
go to tools menu and click on advanced tag management. then click on sync database.

Just finished syncing tags, tried it again, still no luck.

You might have an error in your mask. What is the auto-organize mask you use?

[Dabog]

My mask is:

Main Directory: C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Music\

Subdirectories: <Artist>\<Album>

Filename: <Track#> - <Title>

[Eyal]

Main Directory: C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Music\

Is "User" as is? Or is it your window login name, ie does this directory exist?
I suspect C:\Documents and Settings\ to be a system directory with specific rights granted to users by the system.

Nah the username is dave, and its the only user on the pc, and i have admin rights etc...

XP (as I suspect) or Vista?

I aswell am having this problem, the tags are not being properly inputted, as its trying to save the files or move them and rename as <artist>-<title>.mp3 for me..

Found out why it wasn't working for me.


Under Options-> General

user friendly masks, needs to be checked in order for the <?????> masks to work on organizer.
