MP3 Organizer

I'm looking for a program that will just reorganize a directory of mp3's into a set format such as Artist > Album > track# - track name. I was using MediaMonkey strictly for that, but that program seems to have become so bloated that it is painful to use. I found a great little program that will only do 10 files in a directory until you register for $30 :-0 That is all I want it to do is organize the mp3's and be free.

Any good suggestions ?
 
There is a freeware that hasn't been updated in a while but works well for me, ID3-Tagit I think it's called.
 
Assuming you have the Album Artist tag filled for all your files, AlbumArtist\Album\## Song.mp3 is the default for both Windows Media Player and iTunes. Personally, I've found WMP to be a perfectly fine player for years now, and it's already installed anyway.

Nope, neither do what I'm asking for. I want it to rename and create the correct directory structure, that's ALL. No playing, no tagging(I have that covered already), just organizing into a proper directory structure.
 
It seems the hard part is the organization based on directory structure. If it were just the tags foobar2000 can sort them how you want them in the music library panel.

What about foobar's "File Operations -> Move to..." option. I wonder if that could be used on an entire library to sort things the way you want them if you set how you want it outputted correctly.

Actually it does all that. I am using this program exactly for that purpose (and tagging of course).

Load all your files and use the "Tag - Filename" function. You could set the following format string:

Code: 
D:\Music\%artist%\%year% - %album%\%track% - %title%
Just make sure all your tags are correct.

Yes it does. If the files are tagged it'll do whatever you want with the filenames....which includes creating directories....askahvitronic has pointed out.

It's an excellent piece of software.
