The evil RealAudio has 1 (and only 1) feature that is pretty cool to me: It will go through your MP3 files and automatically sort by Artist/Album/Song format on your hard drive; I assume it does this by looking at ID tags. I rip and download a variety of music by a variety of artists, and having to manually sort material by artist/album is torture. Does MJ have the ability to do this?? I have looked but cannot find it yet.

Try looking in Settings > Options > Tree & View Settings. On the right hand side is sorting. Write down the default (in case you don't like) and try this :

Leave the Track # for Albums checked

Delete what is in there and add these in ascending order

1. Artist (Ascending)
2. Year (Ascending)
3. Album (Ascending)
4. Track# (Ascending)

Also pick from the field options as to what you want, click OK and check your Media Library.

Not really what I was looking for. If you go into File Naming and Locations, it will allow you to rip tracks to a specific file-naming sequence. What it doesnt (appear) to allow you to do is to apply this rule to all your files already saved as MP3s. That is a very useful feature that RealAudio will do. The media library organizational features in MJ are amazing, but there are many times when I need to access a file without necessarily going through MJ to find it. For example, I use an audio editing program that is much more comprehensive than MJ's Media Editor, so going through the media library to find a tune, then find the location, is unnecessarily time consuming. I can always organize the files through RealAudio, then reset my MJ media library, but I was hoping there was a way to do it all through MJ (I really really dislike RealAudio).

I also want the same feature. Particularly, after editing all my CDs that have been ripped, I wish I had an option to reorganize the directory structure of these files to match what the new tags are.

Have you tried a new view scheme? Is it possible to add search criteria to a new scheme that would do what your are looking for?

I know you can set up schemes for different formats. I have schemes that seperate all ape files-from mp3s-from wav. Each named with appropriate format. Still not sure if that is what you are after?
