Anyone know of an application that will rename a folder to the contents id3 tags?
My music directory is a mess with folder names. Not a big deal since I use Banshee to library everything. I have a fairly large music collection on my main hard drive(>140gb) but I keep id3 tags clean.
I'm setting up an ftp server and it will be impossible to navigate the way the folders are now.
In Banshee I have 'Update file and folder names' checked under preferences, but The folder names are not being update. Even after Rescan Music Library.
Any idea why?
I can see when I update an album or track it will update the file and folder names and move them from sub-directory I have them in to the Music folder.
So
- How can I have my entire library's folders renamed?
and
- How can I maintain the subdirectories I have now? (such as ~/Music/downloads or ~/Music/audiobooks)(this is less important than just renaming the folders, by the way)
Something similar for movies would be cool too.

Try to enable the "Library watcher" Extension:
Edit -> Preferences -> Extensions
That, with the Organize music and folders option should do it, that's the way I keep my music organized automagically. You don't need to rescan the music library with this plugin enabled, if you drag and drop a file to the window or add it to the Music source folder set up in banshee then it gets added automatically.
