Multirename folders from containing files' metadata

[sidefx88]

Hi!

I need to multirename several folders (music catalog).

For example, I have this folder name:

"The dark side of the moon"

And I need this as a final result:

"Pink Floyd - The dark side of the moon"

The artist name can be obtained from the files' metadata that each folder contains. I have a lot of installed plugins which can get the Artist name, such as 'Anytag', 'AudioInfo' or 'Media'.

Is there a way to do this using TC?

Thanks in advance!

If your metadata is complete you could copy all your mp3s to one single folder (using Ctrl-B).

Then use the Multi-Rename Tool and add the artist and album name via the plugin button. Create subfolders with a backslash.

Your rename mask should look like this:

Code: Select all

[=audioinfo.Artist] - [=audioinfo.Album]\[N]

This will move your mp3s into newly created subfolders (Artist - Album).

Please test carefully. There are a couple of Mp3 metadata editors more suited for this.
