I'm now at a stage where all the music on my computer is correctly tagged. What I would like to do now is to use foobar to move all of my music into directories based on their genre and then date. Obviously I could do this by hand but it would take forever, but I'm assuming I can use foobar to automate this. If so, what would be the best way to set this up?

This is possible. Just select your files, right click, and choose 'Masstagger > Move, rename or copy files'.

As Ganymed said, you gotta use Masstagger to do this.

If you have no clue, here's a quick and dirty guide

Select the files, right click it and then select Masstagger-> Move, rename or copy files

in the dialog box that appears, make sure that "rename or move files" is selected in the dropdown menu under "do what"

then in output file names, select edit. another dialog box appears. click add

under display name type anything like "Genre & Date" or whatever you like

then under Format type the following:

%genre%\%artist%\%date%- %album%\%tracknumber%- %title%

(modify it to your needs)

Click OK and select the "format" you just made from the list and again select OK.

now from the dropdown menu, select the format you just made (if it isn't already selected)

make sure the "create subdirectories..." option is checked.

now check the preview to make sure the files will turn out exactly as you want it. If so, click Run.

that's it

Both of you many thanks for that, just did a quick test with a couple of albums and it's working exactly how I want it to
