I have used MediaMonkey for years so I am familiar with the AutoOrganize feature. I always get my tags right, then I auto-organize the files based on them by using the CRTL R feature.
Ever since updating to v4, it just simply isn't working consistently. Often the results will be as predicted and other times it simple won't do anything.
Here is an example:
As you can see, the first track is named "Take a Chance on Me" and the artist is "Mamma Mia" as is the album. My organization method is ARTIST\ALBUM
\TRACK_TITLE. As you can see, the path at the right, the organization artist is VARIOUS ARTISTS instead. See the track HONEY HONEY, which is from a different MAMA MIA album. In that case, the organization artist is MELISSA GIBSON instead of VARIOUS ARTISTS. However, the track above that, OVERTURE/PROLOGUE is perfect.
Now look at the organization window for the track HONEY HONEY here:
It suggests no changes to the organization despite the library and tags being different from the currently organized structure.
Finally, here is the same HONEY HONEY track in Windows:
This confirms that the files tags matches the MediaMonkey library for the ARTIST field which should be VARIOUS ARTISTS but MediaMonkey is just plain ignoring that when organizing. This is happening with hundreds of tracks so far that I've found in my collection of 4400.
Any ideas?
