Organize music into folders

Flat download folders are fine until you want Artist\Album trees. Path Mover relocates files under a root folder using a sub-folder template with audio tokens (for example <audio-artist>\<audio-album>). Preview changes the parent directory in the Rename List before you press GO — folders are created and items moved on Apply. Source folders are never deleted.

How to do it

  1. Add audio files (or a library folder) in the File List.
  2. Add a Path Mover step: set the destination root and a sub-folder template such as <audio-artist>\<audio-album>.
  3. Review the Rename List folder / path columns (before/after), then GO.
  4. Optional: combine with a rename step in the same Filter Chain, or save a preset (sample: Audio: Artist Album Folders).

FAQ

What does Path Mover do?
It moves items to a destination root plus an optional sub-folder template (formatter tokens allowed). Preview shows the new parent directory; GO creates folders and moves files. Source folders are not deleted.
Can I build Artist\Album trees from tags?
Yes. Use a sub-folder pattern like <audio-artist>\<audio-album> (or the sample preset Audio: Artist Album Folders).
Does Path Mover rename files too?
Path Mover targets the path. Add Formatter or other rename filters in the same Filter Chain when you also need new file names.
