GET RID OF "ARRANGE FILES" OPTION!!!!!

[Unregistered]

I have been using dbpower amp and was satisfied with it until a few minutes ago. I went to the arrange files option in the music collection heading and selecting my music folder (didnt notice the arrange files part, I thought it was just used to link your music directory so you dont have to manually update it). It completely *blooper**blooper**blooper**blooper*ed up my music folder, reanging my 10,000 songs that were perfectly arranged by Album. The rearangement is completely terrible and will take days to fix. Please do away with retarded option.

I can't remember if it is already available but how about adding a confirmation option.

BTW Can't you use the arrange music option to put the files back to how you would like them?

If you tagged your music files correctly, it is a snap to use arrange files again to replace them all the way they were.

is this the screen you saw? i think the word *warning* means something?

YUP! There is a clear warning. The problems you are having should be cause of bad ID tag.

I personally think the arrange music option is excellent as I have my mp3's sorted by band then album, and if the ID3 Tags are set up correctly it organises them in seconds.

For you to resort them how you want 'em, just make sure all the mp3's to be sorted are in MMC and their ID3 tags are up to date then do as you did before, but rearrange them into your folder structure.

Right now I'm using the Arrange Files option like crazy! The ripper I'm using (PlexTools) doesn't allow me to put the track number in the tags, so I rip in one place, import them into MMC for retagging, then use Arrange Files to place them in their final destination

I used the arrange music function and it stripped off the Artis names from the ID3 Tags. I tried it a second time on other music and yep, it happened again. Can anybody offer a solution?

Re: GET RID OF "ARRANGE FILES" OPTION!!!!!

The arrange option does not touch the tags in anyway, infact the mp3 file is only read from. I will rename the file only.

[COLOR=Blue]I have nearly7.5Gb of music that works out to roughly 60 hours or 700 some songs. I love the arange music option.....saves on tons of clutter that would be in one folder only gripe i have is that the export option seems to think Ac/Dc's "Live (Disc 2)" goes alphabetically before "Live (Disk 1)"[/COLOR]
