Don't think there is program that will actually make folders for you but Windows Media Player 7 or any other decent MP3 player can sort the songs but Artist, Album, genre, year etc etc.

That's if the songs you have have an ID3 tag in them!

Open the folder you have them in (in explore) make some new folders, and drag and drop your mp3's into the corresponding new folders

64175 2002-07-22 07:40:00 Hi. I think one way that still involves a bit of finger labour, would be to use the Search function in an imaginative way. Try doing a series of searches (only in the same folder of course) using a variety of wildcard searches, and then move all results into sub-folders. Just a thought, but it would be a bit easier than manually moving 3000 files. imposter (954)

If your running XP, all you have to do is "right click" on a blank part of the folder.

64178 2002-07-22 09:51:00 I wouldnt bother putting each artist into a separate folder but each to his own. Advanced MP3 Catalog is good - it's designed for people who burn their MP3's to CD. You just insert the CD and it takes a snapshot of the files so you can then do a search and find what particular song is on what CD. If you have 3k I think you are getting to that stage :-)

Do a search on MP3 catalogs or organisers in Google and I'm sure plenty hits will be found.
