hey, i've been using iTunes for a long while now (or at least had been) until one day (itunes7 release date) everything started breaking down... my itunes needless to say is nearly nonfunctional, and i'm not particularly sad about this except for the organization of my music library...

so, i'd like to request that somebody piece together a "Consolidate my Library" component.
perhaps this has already been done, i'm unsure. regardless, as i have searched several times for several different terms and my quest has only come up fruitless...

i doubt it would be hard to put together, perhaps i could even do it myself (if i had ANY idea how to put one together) just a simple check if things are organized and there ya go. done.

so in conclusion please i beg you make this component.

thanks for reading through this post.

Could I please get a component to transmogrify the equalizer, while you're at it?

Neither do we, unless you explain what you want. wink.gif

I'm guessing he wants something that rearranges all his media for him.

I've been using MusicBrainz Picard(obviously not a foobar component) for my music organization needs. The audio fingerprinting is incredibly useful, and the directory/filename conventions are very customizable. Even if it was a component I'm not sure if I'd use it - I like my startup time in the .1s range.

Also I beg the smart people to make a Consolidate library plugin! Also I was a iTunes fun, but ... read first post.

i'm not sure if i accidently came across this potentially, but what i'm specifically looking for is a directory organizer and file renamer...

so that i have tag "artist/album/track#/song title" and i can simply select my entire library and activate "consolidate my library" and it will copy/paste all files into "musicdirectory\artist\album\## - songtitle.mp3"
because itunes has recently developed the nasty habit of cutting up some albums and placing a seemingly random series of files into "musicdirectory\artist_\album_\## - songtitle_" this causes my ipod to not want to play said songs for whatever reason, and then i'm just not a happy camper...

i'm unsure as to whether this is due to a tag reading error (probably) or what, but it's got to stop.

How about "Move, Rename or Copy Files..."?
gojira
that's the part i think i found, (for some reason i didn't have masstagger in my original install of foobar0.9.../shrug). but i don't really understand how to sort the files with that, so i'm looking into it.
tgoose
It may not do it (I've had my files organised since before using foobar2000), but I imagine it does.

Mp3tag has an option like this. Tag to file name. I use this format:

%artist%\%album%\$num(%track%,2) %title%
Ex:
Brand New\The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me\09 Luca.mp3
