That worked perfect, thank you.

So you want to duplicate your whole music collection, but with a new folder structure?

Just make sure you know what you're doing before you make any changes!
But won't that screw up my current library?
Like I said, it will just change the folders where your tracks are saved on the hard drive.

Need to create a seperate library

I don't know if this is possible, but I need to create a separate library of how my music is organized. Right now, my music is organized by the artist,and inside the artist folder, are the albums by that artist. In my car, I have a unit called a MultiMediaLinQ , made by a company VAIS. It allows you to install an HDD to the unit and fill it with music. The unit will only recognize audio files in the first folder, not subfolders. So basically, I need MM to create folders of the artist and then list all the music by that artist inside that artist folder. My goal is to not screw up my original library though. Is this possible to do?
