Title: re-organise files and directories from tag like iTunes?
Post by: Jinster on January 29, 2007, 07:24:28 pm

Does MC12 have a feature to re-organise files and directories according to tag info like iTunes?

Yes.  It is quite flexible, and far more powerful than the one in iTunes.  The only downside is that, in it's current incarnation, you must run it manually (select the files you want to move/rename and right click --> library tools --> rename files from properties).  However, this is somewhat of a good thing because the tool is so powerful that it would be somewhat difficult to set it up in an automated fashion.  Check in the help file under:  File Properties --> Library Tools --> Rename files from Properties.

You may also want to search these forums for "rename files from properties".  I'm sure you'll find a lot of information there.

Thanks Glynor. You seem to know this program inside out.

I do what I can...  ;)

It's actually amazing.  There's still so much I don't know, and I learn new stuff all the time (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=38669.msg263645#msg263645).  MC is really quite "deep" and extremely flexible.  It's hard for anyone to fully grasp everything it can do.
