    You can set dynamic naming to:

    [artist]\[album]\[origfilename]

        Safely at work!
        One more question: Could the sample path you wrote be considered universal, covering the basic info for both single and double disc albums? If not, is it a matter of trial and error for every single album or is there a rule I could learn? Is there a sample path library showing what info a certain path will extract?
        Again, as long as I have the album name, the artist and track names and numbers I am just fine.
        Thanks!

          It depends on how your albums are named, do you have "Album, Disc 2", or is is "Album" and the disc tag is set to 2/2, if you wanted to you could convert to a folder with:

          [origpath]\[origfilename]

          Which will keep the original full path and put in the new location.

            Finally a partial success! I was using [origpath]\[origfilename] option and the naming and disc 1 or 2 is correct. I lost the artwork. When I try to import it from a .jpg folder, the system response is that the folder .jpg does not exist in the same folder where the music file is. If I try to find it on the internet, it adds it initially in the "album cover" spot but it does not save it. The funniest part is that some albums, say 20%, have the album covers just fine.

              There is a DSP effect

              folder.jpg Preserve

              if the file is there it will be copied

                Thank you very much Spoon!
                I did as advised and everything turned out just fine.
                The most impressive feature was the batch converter.
                I selected all my music folders, set the converter and 35 minutes later, everything was completed the way it should be.
                Thanks again!
