Hello,

I am new to musicbee.

I want to rename and classify all my mp3 with musicbee.

For some albums, there are several artists because of featuring : how to make musicbee create only one artist folder and not one for each artist who participated in the album?

Thanks on advance for your help.

you should use the Album Artist tag and make sure the Album Artist is the same for each track in the album

OK but I do not want to be obliged to make sure for every album because there are many.

Is there an automated way to change the name of the artist by restricting it to a single name?

in preferences/sorting & grouping, set the album grouping definition to not include Album Artist ie. just Album

There are ways to automatically tag albums.  It should be easy to check over everything if you just group/sort by Album Artist, especially in Tracks view.  Then the mismatched files should jump out at you.
