I have a file management question. I plan on transcoding a bunch of high bitrate mp3 files to a smaller format (ogg vorbis) to fit on a portable audio player. I am using Speek's great multi frontend to transcode the files.

What I would like would be to transcode all the files, moving the results to another directory, say \ogg\ and preserve all the artist\album directory structure. However, multi frontend transcodes all the files, either leaving them in their original directory mixed in with the original mp3s, or, if you specify a destination directory, puts all the resulting files into a single directory.

Is there a method or a utility that I can use to move all the *.ogg files within my mp3 directories and copy the directory structure so I end up with a copy of my /mp3/artist/album/track.mp3 but as /ogg/artist/album/track.ogg
without manually going through all my directories and moving all the files over?

Thanks.

I know that if you were to use Foobar, it would be super easy to have it create directories/sub-directories and any filename based on tags. There is another tool floating around there that'll transcode/convert just about anything. I'm thinking it's Multicoder, IIRC.

If you're on windows, that's fairly easy. just convert them in the same directory then a couple of command prompt commands:

xcopy x:\path-a\*.filetype x:\path-b\ /e /s
del x:\path-a\*.filetype /s

Thanks for that, cvp.

After thinking about it, I have a bunch of album art I'd like to mirror onto another drive under the same directory structure and that'll help out quite a bit.
