Is there a setting to achieve this behavior?yes, in the preferences, put backslashes into the output file name like so: %artist%\%album%\%track%-%title% If you choose to save in "d:\music" you will end up with files like: d:\music\Talking Heads\fear of Music\01-I Zimbra.mp3 d:\music\Talking Heads\fear of Music\02-Mind.mp3 d:\music\Talking Heads\Little Creatures\02-Give Me Back My Name.mp3 and so on.

I'll try this out. Lars
