I'm ripping all my CD's using MC24.
I can get all the tracks, artists, and genres to capitalize first letter, of every word but can't get it to work on filenames.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

If you want to rename filenames, you'll have to use the Rename, Move, & Copy Files... tool.

Be cautious though, it's a very powerful tool. Like Jim always says start with a couple test files and see how well it works before moving along.

Thanks Awesome D, that works.
My next problem is when I moved them, the file structure is lost, and whereas the files were grouped into folders by artist/album, when I move them, they all appeared in the same folder!

The tool allows you to fully specify where and how to move them. You can specify any folder structure that you want, using the fields as placeholders.

I'm getting there, and really appreciate the help, from everyone so far.
I've managed to regain some folder structure, by moving them and giving a folder structure of (Artist)-(Album) but how would I get all albums by one artist in the same folder, listed by album?
As you can see, I have more than one album by a few artists, and want to set it so that all albums by one artist go into an artist folder, and then show by each individual album. What would I set the folder structure as, and also, how do I get it to work, if , as in the Beatles case, there are 2cd's relating to the same title?

In the directories field:

Code: [Select]

[Album Artist (auto)]\[Album]

Cheers Bryan, much appreciated.
