Merge Similar Folders

So here is the situation.
In my music folders, somehow ended up with albumname and albumname (year)
so
c:\music\artist
album
album (year)
anotheralbum
anotheralbum (year)
etc..

I want to merge the contents of album into album (year) and delete the album folder. I don't want to do this manually as it takes too long for what I have. Is there a way to automate this?

Thanks,
Derek

If your folder structure is clean enough, you could move the album (year) folders to a temp-folder, clipboard-copy the folder names via Advanced Rename Dialog to the album folders and move the folders back to the original place. Still a bit of work, if you have many artists, I admit.

Thanks. I ended up doing it all manually. didn't have 1000's of artists, but once you get in the groove, it goes fast.
