Subject: Re: file folder creation
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:24:11 +0100Hi,
Flash Renamer contains a special tag that can create folder: <\>
It works in all functions that support tags, but for this task the "free format" function is probably easiest to use. You have two options:
"<\>"
or
"<%1><\>"
The first one will work if your mp3s have correct ID3 tags. The second one requires you to first "setup parts" where you tell Flash Renamer how your filenames are constructed. <%1> would then refer to the part that contains the artist names.
This was probably not the best explanation. I think you will understand it better if you look in the manual where I have written a lot about how tags work.
