Organizing MP3s by Album, instead of Artist

j123vt_99 · 10-05-05, 08:38 PM

Ok.. I have all my mp3 organized in Folders by Artist-->Album-->Song

e.g.

Pearl Jam-->Ten-->Alive
Pearl Jam-->Ten-->Even Flow
Pearl Jam-->Vitalogy-->Bugs
Pearl Jam-->Vitalogy-->Not For You
Pearl Jam-->Singles Soundtrack-->State of Love &Trust
Jimi Hendrix-->Singles Soundtrack-->May This Be Love

all the mp3s are named correctly with their id tags

what i would like to do is group the mp3s by album so the above would look like this

Ten-->Alive and Even Flow
Vitalogy-->Bugs and Not For You
Singles Soundtrack-->State of Love &Trust and May This Be Love

looking for some software that will help with this

Not sure if this should go in Music Talk or Tech Talk, so mod please move.

mediamonkey

it can organize and/or rename files by any criteria you want using a construction of id3 tag data.

And the bit in the middle about how everyone should keep their clothes on? Wow, just WOW, that's all I have to say." -Otto
