Title: File sorting (automated)
Post by: kylieshotpants on March 02, 2010, 01:55:09 PM

Hi

I have a load of mp3's in one folder, I would like to sort them into folders for artist, album etc, I know programs like Itunes can arrange the files, but does anyone know of a program that will sort the physical files?

Thanks in advance

on my xp machine (just checked) I can right click and arrange by name, artist, album etc.  it could be b/c I have foobar or dppoweramp installed.  not sure.

Standard Windows behavior.  I have neither of those
installed and have those options in Windows Explorer.

nice!  I knew sort by name but didn't realize the artist, album thing was a part of windows.  I'm on my machine with 7 now and when right click > sort by, if you don't see what you want hit more and check the box.

All kinds of other properties also.  Bit rate, Sample rate, etc...
I've setup a "template" folder on my PC that has some of items
available and I just copy that folder and rename it for my audio
folders.  Saves me from having to turn them on all the time.
