iTunes has a feature where it keeps your library “organized” by automatically placing files into folders: ```auto ├── Music/ │   ├── Beastie Boys/ │   │   └── Licensed to Ill/ │   │   └── Beastie Boys - Rhymin & Stealin.mp3 │   │   └── Beastie Boys - The New Style.mp3 │   │   └── Beastie Boys - She's Crafty.mp3 │   │   └── Beastie Boys - Posse in Effect.mp3 │   │   └── Paul's Boutique/ │   │   └── Beastie Boys - To All the Girls.mp3 │   │   └── Beastie Boys - Shake Your Rump.mp3 ``` It’d be amazing if Plex Media Server had such a feature, where all of my media is renamed and nested into folders automatically as it is matched and indexed. I’ve tried to do naming and organization well for a little while now (and even automatically now with a variety of tools) for _new_ media, but for a large part of my media library, things are pretty ugly. I’d prefer not to have to go rename things manually, and then have Plex Media Server need to re-scan. I didn’t see this feature requested anywhere else in this forum, yet, so apologies if its a dupe! ---

Plex specifically does not modify your files (except in the specific case of the Admin when file deletion is on). There are many posts on the forums regarding FileBot and other renaming apps that will use online databases to properly name your files. With that, there really isn’t a need for Plex to bake this in and can spend time on other features/fixes. ---

I respectfully disagree. Plex is already doing the hard work of looking at weird filenames and matching them using online databases, and has all of the metadata it needs to enable this feature without having to install some random third-party package that, upon renaming, will cause Plex Media Server to have to re-index the file. ---

I think this is a feature that would best be developed as a plugin. This way if you require the feature it could be loaded and setup for your audio library and those that dont want it simply don’t load it. Surely there is a UAS developer that could build something. ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@automatic rename files](https://forums.plex.tv/t/automatic-rename-files/27216): > > Hi there. I just started to manage my library perfectly to plex especially for tv shows. I used filebot to rename all of my files to get the best matching experience, but most of my shows already include the name and some “S01E01” express. Wouldn’t it be nice if there would be an option within Plex after a correct match to click on a button and rename every single data after the tvdb match like filebot and some other renamed did? like to bring a file named “breaking.bad\_S01E01-pilot.AC3.HDRip.… ---
