I have just finnished ripping all my cd´s to mp3´s.
But I would like for all the eminem songs to be transfered into one folder and so forth.
My freind at school just wrote a script to sort them automaticly, so I figgured that someone out there must have had the same problem and migth know a program for this problem???
ITS very hard to google the rigth program and even more to be sure it wouldt mess with my musik :D
Thx in advance

A MS-DOS batch file might work.
mkdir Artist
mv *Artist*.mp3 Artist/
And repeat that for each artist. I'm not sure it would work though.
EDIT: Works in a couple of Unix shells, and brings up a warning that you can't move a directory to itself, but the 2 test files copied. My script was:
#!/usr/bin/tcsh
mkdir Blah
mv *blah*.blah blah/
The test folder was called blah, and I had 4 test files, 1blah1.blah, 2blah2.blah 3blah3.blah and 4blah4.blah. All moved to the directory succesfuly. Try using that script as a batchfile in MS-DOS with a couple of testfiles, but remember to remove the tcsh line!!

why dont you just use a program like audiograbber to rip them in the first place which puts them in artist folder and album folder, you can actually customise how it sorts them

you should use EAC to rip anyway... and you shouldnt have this problem, just rip all to a new folder.

I allways use EAC with lame.exe to encode as it gives the best quality (set it to 192kbps)
Nice program that godfather, will be usefull to fix broken names and stuff in my collection.
i have everything on my HD perfect....i loaded it up to my laptop and did it manualy on a plane ride to florida....good way to kill a few hours.....all i have to do is keep up the maitnence when i put in new songs and ittl be fine....i run itunes and i love it.
