Organize MP3 According To Tags

Audio files usually come with additional information regarding the artist, album, genre, and more. These details can be viewed from the Properties panel, but also used in quite ingenious ways. For instance, Organize MP3 According To Tags is an application which can rearrange your collection based on these info fields.

You can take the application with you on a thumb drive, because it does not require installation in order to work. However, you do need to make sure that .NET Framework is on the computer you plan to use it on, even though modern Windows iterations come with it as a default feature.

The interface consists of a classic window frame, which comes in a rather compact size specification. Although it can be resized, there’s not really any reason to do this, especially because it only unveils unused space, without stretching elements to fit.

Two fields are at your disposal, and both of them need to be filled in for the operation to be successful. Input values consist of folder paths, one of them representing your music collection as source, with subfolders automatically included, while the other is where audio files end up after processing.

The application reads tags from all source files, creating folder structures based on grabbed info, filling them with songs accordingly. Unfortunately, there’s little to no control over what fields to use in the process. Regardless of audio file types, whether they’re songs or effects, only the genre field is used.

It only takes a little while from start to end, unless your music collection isn’t substantial in terms of total size on disk. For faster approach, you can assign a hotkey to the application’s shortcut so that it’s launched instantly, regardless of your location.

To sum it up, Organize MP3 According To Tags is sure to help store your music collection in a stylish folder structure. Sadly, this is only done according to the genre tab, so processing different artists can mess up the collection even more, unless genre is the only filter of interest here.
