    Batch file to move (many) duplicted folder contents - Help!!


    Hope I can explain my difficulty.
    I have duplicated folders album name for all my music files.
    As there is quite a considerable number I wondered if it was possible to batch file (automate) the process.

    I can not delete "d" as this would delete all the tracks.
    What I need to do is move the tracks at "e" into folder "c" and delete the then empty folder "d"
    Folder structure is thus:

    (a) Music Collection
    (b) /Artist Name
    (c) /Artist Name/Album Name
    /Artist Name/Album Name/Album Name
    (e) /Artist Name/Album Name/Album Name/The Tracks

    What I am trying to end up with is:
    /Artist Name
    /Album Name
    /The Track files

    Is this possible or has anyone any suggestions.
    Thanks for looking

    You can try this;

    DropIt: Sort Your Files With A Drop!

    <http://dropit.sourceforge.net/>

    You can set up rules so that the software sorts your files as you want them.

    There are lots of utilities for checking duplicates;

    AllDup, from this site, is a good one;

    AllSync Backup Software: windows backup, backup and restore, backup program, sync program, pc backup software, backup utility, backup solution, computer backup, sync folders, automatic backup, file synchronization

    <http://www.allsync.biz/en_index.htm>

    All these things have to be used with due care.
