Am new to foobar so be gentle with me, I have tried foobar on a number of occasions but I always gave up as I found it to darn complicated to set up. Being stubborn I downloaded the lastest version foorbar 2000 v 0.9.5.1 which seems to be a bit easier, and I am surprised it does flac to mp3 conversions which is great for my needs. However how do I get foobar to output but my flac to mp3 in to a folder structure i.e Rush Folder then / Album Folder Moving Pictures / then track 01- Tom Sawyer.mp3 . At present I just get 01Tom Sawyer.mp3 Rush Moving Pictures.

Thank You

If you go to Preferences -> Tools -> Converter, you will see a text box marked "Single Tracks".

Enter the following code in the box:


This is what the code means:
* Use the album artist to create the root folder. "Album artist" is a field that is used to denote Various artist albums if it exists. If it doesn't exist, it falls back to "artist". Using Album artist instead of just artist here means your code will be more general
* Then use album to create the subdirectory
* then use tracknumber - title to create the file name.

Easy .

Read up on titleformatting (there should be a titleformat reference file in your foobar installation directory) to see how to access other fields, and how to do nifty things with them.

Thanx very much for the swift reply you have been very helpful.......cheers
