Itunes

Seriously, it sorts genres etc etc

Yes iTunes Rocks. But makesure you disable all the extra s*** in startup that you don't need.

yes, props to boxhead for getting me onto it :)

ewww i cant stand itunes, i use a winamp plug-in for my ipod because i cant stand itunes so much :P

but if it works for u... jsut gives me the s***s for some reason, dont knwo why

Does itunes actually move the files on your hdd to different directories or just sort them in it's own playlists? Becauase I think SD Gundam is "looking for a program to sort a mess of music files on a hard drive".
Every media player that I know of will sort mp3's by the id3 tags in it's own playlists... but I have yet to see one that will actually sort files on the HDD by whatever id3 tag you choose to.

It lets you rename files and create folders and put the newly renamed fiels into the nice neat folders with the following variables
%1 Artist
%2 Title
%3 Album
%4 Year
%5 Genre
%6 Track #
%7 File name
%8 File number
%9 Comment
%0 Bitrate
%t Play time
%b BPM
%# Disc #
%or Orchestra
%co Conductor
%cp Composer
%pc PCDJ Comment
%pv PCDJ Version
%pb PCDJ BPM

It also does the reverse and lets tag a file based on its name and path using the variables
%1 Artist
%2 Title
%3 Album
%4 Year
%5 Genre
%6 Track #
%9 Comment
%b BPM
%# Disc #
%or Orchestra
%co Conductor
%cp Composer
%pc PCDJ Comment
%pv PCDJ Version
%pb PCDJ BPM
%d Skip part of the file name


Have used it, and it helped me tidy up my collection (in both directions).

I use MusicMatch 10 Jukebox, don't know why but I do.
