Hi, how is this possible in foobar2000?

I want to be able to rename/move the containing folder of files in such a way:

Say I have an album in C:\NewRips\SomeAlbum

I'd like to rename the SomeAlbum folder to "%artist% - '('%date%')' %album%" and then move that folder to be inside D:\Music\%genre%

How can this be done in an semi-automated way with foobar?

Ooops, sorry, I figured it out! Shouldn't have posted so quickly. I was using the Move dialog wrong, and I kept getting "nonexistant directory." Turns out I needed to use the "File name pattern" field and not the "destination folder" field. Kinda misleading titles, since I figured the folder name should go in "destination folder" and not part of the filename, but it works. smile.gif
