  1. # This will read all the files of a given extention in a directory
  2. # Create a subfolder based on the album id3 tag
  3. # move all the files into the appropriate album sub folder
  4. #
  5. # This doesn't work on filenames that have square brackets, they will be skipped
  6. # Files without album id3 tags will be left unmodified
  7. #
  8. # requires:
  9. # taglib-sharp.dll found at http://download.banshee.fm/taglib-sharp/
