Lordy! Two minutes are all you needed! It works perfectly. Thanks so much.
On an unrelated note, am I missing something, or is there a way to get MM to automatically create folders based on tags, when you add/scan a folder for new mp3s? For instance, in iTunes, I can add a bunch of mp3s to a folder called Misc. I can then ask iTunes to Add Folder to Library. It scans that folder. It then automatically takes the files out of that folder and puts them into folders based on Artist and then Album.
However, if I ask MM to scan a folder, it does scan them, and add them to the library, and puts them under the right titles in the library display. However, it does not automatically create the folders in Windows Explorer.
Although MM makes it easy to Auto Organise it 'manually', what if I have 2-3 albums of different artists in a Misc folder? Then I need to do the MM Auto Organise manually for each album.
I have a rubbish workaround for this: Use iTunes and Add the Misc folder to the library. iTunes then does all the donkey work of creating the folders (hopefully the tags are all correct). I then get MM to rescan the whole library on Startup.
Therefore, does this iTunes-style functionality exist in MM? Would this require a script, or can you point me to an existing script?
thanks again for your superfast help with the compilations script. It will make it much easier to add compilation albums to my device (Archos XS202s).
