Auto-Organize - Still UNKNOWN folder?

I can't get MM to auto-organize for me. I select a track, click auto-organize... It is currently sitting in Unknown\Unknown... NEW destination stays Unknown\Unknown no matter how much or little info is in the ID3 tag.

Far as I can tell I have everything setup to organize tracks by:

Artist \ Album \ Track - Artist -Title . mp3

However I'm trying to organize my collection and I can't get the Unknowns to be moved into proper folders.

Seems to do it with ANYTHING... If I add new tracks from a different folder (not my main drive that is dedicated and setup as library)... It won't auto-organize them out of that drive onto the proper drive... let alone folder.

What's the mask you use for Auto-Organize Files?

You might need to look into using C:\Music\<Artist>\<Album>\<Track#> - <Artist> - <Title> where C:\Music is the path to the folder you want your music to be stored in.

Figured it out. Thanks... There seems to be multiple locations you can configure this, however only one actually seems to do anything. Once I set that up properly it is working. Not sure what the settings under auto-organize... in settings/options screen is for.

That's the auto-auto organize. It operates after you make a tag change or add/rescan a track or set of tracks.
