sorting program for audio files?

Post by stopthekilling77 »

Okay so here's my deal.
I'm an idiot and I've been ripping my cds with iTunes for a while, and now i've got about 17+Gb of music that is in HORRIBLE shape, organizationally speaking. albums upon albums by different artists are in one folder, and it's killing me because I'm moving all my music to my external drive and I want to be able to find my music by folder to move to PSP, etc...

So is there a program that will sort all these loose audio files into separate folders by at LEAST artist?
Otherwise, I'm going to be doing a LOT of file-by-file organizing for a long while.
Cyberpower generic case
B450M PRO-VDH MAX
Ryzen 5 3600 w/PBO/OC
CM Hyper 212 EVO push/pull
Corsair VENGEANCE LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3600 CL16
MSI RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 3X 8G OC LHR
Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB
6GB Seagate HDD
EVGA 650BQ 650W PSU

I've come a long way from my original Core2Duo E6750 build y'all! :supz:

Try Media Monkey. If the tags are correct you can have it rename your files by the tags in what ever format you want. Even f the tags are messed up you can update them with media monkey.

This is how I have it. I ripped all my cds to first a generic genre/artist/album/00 - Filename.
