In TINT-based filing, users who browse the library driectory directly e.g. in Windows Explorer might find it useful to have all album folders labelled with <Artist> ; <Album> held in the name of an empty file. This may be done automatically as follows using Mp3tag:

  1. Load and select all album track files
  2. Click File | Export and create a new export config containing e.g.:
$filename(C:\My Music\%_parent_directory%\%band% ; %album%.txt)

(The absolute path is necessary to make the destination independent of the Mp3tag current directory. Improvement needed - make script automatically determine absolute path.)

  1. Ensure '[X] One file per directory'
  2. Click OK.

Note: when using the above to update existing labels, because it does not delete existing labels you should manually delete existing labels first.
