Rename parent folder with ID3 info of songs?

My music collection now:

Artist - Album\Track# - Track.mp3

I would like to change it to:

Artist - Year - Album\Track# - Track.mp3

I have managed to do this via rename - kind of. Instead of renaming the parent folder, a new subfolder is created and files are moved into it. That works, so long as there is an easy way to then push all those new folders up a level...

Put [b]..[/b] at the start of the new name and they'll be created one level up from normal.

It works for the first track in a directory, but when it gets to the second, it gives me an error saying that the filename already exists. I guess it's trying to create the folder again?

What's the actual rename that you're doing? Post a screenshot if it's easier than typing the details.

I know what the problem is - it was trying to rename track 2 with the same exact name as track 1, because that's what I told it to do.

What do I use to call forth the original name, and plug that into the equation?

Come to think of it, doing things this way would mean I still have to manually move my cover art. Maybe I'll just go through and change the numbers by hand, it'll only take an hour...

Hi,

:question: Is it possible to actually rename a folder without creating a new folder first - moving files - deleting the old folder :question:

I'd like to add the ID3-tag info {mp3year} to the album folders of my music collection:

old:
Genre\Artist\Album)\

new
Genre\Artist\Album (Year)\

regards,
Moep

It could be done using some VBScript. Not had a chance to look at it further though...
