How To Rename Album Name Parent Folder

[musiclover13]

Ok So I have everything working perfectly now with sorting and cleaning up my music collection MM is amazing but im stuck on a problem

So I have everything sorted like

Rock
Band Name
Album Name
Songs

Everything gets named correctly but the Album name does not change and I cant figure out how to clean
just the Album Name folders up

You can use <Album> with Auto-Organize Files.

Hmm, Maybe im missing something when I do this it still just changes the files name but not the parent folder name?

Hi,
if you use "\" then it will be applied to folders also eg c:\Music\<Genre\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<TRack #:2>. <Title> would organize files both in Folder and Filename structure.

I use 'Organize files' all the time to ensure that all my tracks are structured in a similar fashion, and found that it works really well as long as:

1. you understand the effects of the mask elements and use them appropriately (the file mask guidance at https://mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHelp:Co ... ormats/5.0 is necessary here), and
2. be clear about the differnence between Artist and Album Artist and where they fit in your scheme (eg year compilation albums), and
3. you take care to select only the files that you want the mask to apply to.

If you did want to do this with all of your files at once then it would be prudent to test it on smaller subsets first, because once you set it going it will move things around quickly.

But yes, once you get the hang of this, it is a very powerful feature of Media Monkey and well worth using.
