# mds - Music Directory Transformer
Transforms an Album directory into an Artist -> Album structure
based on the metadata of the files in the directory.
## Example
```shell
$ mds 'Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius (2010) [FLAC]'
$ tree "Jaco Pastorius"/
Jaco Pastorius/
└── Jaco Pastorius (2010)
├── 01 Donna Lee.flac
├── ... more flac files
├── dir.orig.name.txt
└── Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius (2010).cue
$ mds "Jaco Pastorius - Invitation (1983) [FLAC]"
$ mds "Jaco Pastorius - Word Of Mouth (1981) [FLAC]"
$ tree "Jaco Pastorius"/
Jaco Pastorius/
└── Jaco Pastorius (2010)
│ ├── 01 Donna Lee.flac
│ ├── ... more flac files
│ ├── dir.orig.name.txt
│ └── Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius (2010).cue
├── Invitation (1983)
│ ├── ... more flac files
│ ├── dir.orig.name.txt
│ └── Jaco Pastorius - Invitation (1983).cue
└── Word Of Mouth (1981)
├── ... more flac files
├── dir.orig.name.txt
└── Jaco Pastorius - Word of Mouth (1981).cue
```
Music Directory Transformer keeps a file `dir.orig.name.txt`
inside the new transformed Album directory. This way Music Directory Transformer
can transform back the directory to its original directory.
```shell
$ mds --revert "Jaco Pastorius/Jaco Pastorius (2010)"/
$ tree "Jaco Pastorius"/
Jaco Pastorius/
└── Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius (2010) [FLAC]
├── 01 Donna Lee.flac
├── ... more flac files
├── dir.orig.name.txt
└── Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius (2010).cue
```
## Caveats
`mds` **does not rename or move the original directory** in both normal and reverse operation.
`mds` will not touch the files in the original directory, it will only read its metadata.
