Hello,

Somehow, I now have some of my albums (ripped from CD) in one folder and some in another folder.

How can I move a whole album from one folder to another (without losing any of the data about the album / tracks)?

Thanks.

In MJ 8, pick the files in MJ, right-click, and pick "Move / Copy." Otherwise, play with "Rename from Properties" in the File Property tools system.

In MJ 9, just move the folder with the built in "My Computer" view.

Hope that helps...

Thanks Matt.  I'm on MJ 8 so I'll give the first option a shot (otherwise I'll be renaming for ever  :-/)

Cheers!

Mmm...

When selecting move/copy disk files, do I need to create a folder of the album name first (in the target folder)?

Thanks.

Actually,  I should have asked:

In the target folder (in my case My Documents\My Music), do I need to create a folder for the artist name AND a folder for the album name and then copy the track files into that folder (using the MJ move/copy disk files menu item)?

Cheers!

Well I did create a folder for the artist name AND a folder for the album name and then copy the track files into that folder (using the MJ move/copy disk files menu item.

However, even after restarting MJ, if I navigate to that artist then album in MJ, the properties still show that the file is in the old folder.

Any clues?

OK - I understand now.  I hit "copy" instead of "move".  If I select "move", the files end up in the right place.

Thanks.
