1. You said after mp3 files are found the mp3's should be placed into a directory with the band name. Is this band name included inside mp3 file name? can you provide me a form of mp3 file or what u need..
Yes the band name is in the id tag... but not the .mp3 file name.

I didnt understand this point, give me an example then i can provide u a code.
Sure, for instance the file name would then be similar to this...
10 Stir it up Bob Marley Legend.mp3

Sorry I forgot the song name in the original post.

Basically what my main goal is would be this... after running the script, I would have the directory named music, with sub directories of band names which include all the .mp3's of that band. No sum directories for albums and so on.

I do not care much for the albums to be seperated, I would just like a directory for a band and all their music. If I wanna see what album the song came in I will look it up inn the tag.

Make sense?
