    Retaining folders

    I've ripped my entire cd collection in WMA lossless format. Everything is organized by artist and album.

    I want to create a clone copy (with folders for atrist, sub folders for album) in MP3 Lame format.

    I must be doing something wrong, becuase when I use the batch converter, the folders are lost.

    Help!

        Reconvert, point dMC at the root directory you want it to be at, then use "[origpath]\[origfilename]" to duplicate the old structure exactly. note you might need to use [TRIMFIRSTOLDER][origpath][]\[origfilename] to remove the first folder listed.

          Just tried this, but it doesnt convert to the exact filename of the original.

          My filenames are like this:

          01-holiday.flac

          wanting an mp3 that looks the same:

          01-holiday.mp3

          But the [origpath]/[origfilename] gives:

          The immaculate collection 01-holiday.mp3

          So, how do i get rid of the album name?

            You should be using [origpath]\[origfilename]

            not /
