Re-organizing folders from #gamemp3s releases

What I need to do is the following:

Organize my #gamemp3s music so they match their original folder scheme (i.e. 2006-11-3/folders/).

Right now I have all the seperate albums in a single folder, but just displaying its contents takes ages with 400+ subfolders. So I want to seperate the albums back into their original release date (year-month-day) folders.

Needless to say, I can't do this manually, since it would take forever. I need some sort of script/macro that takes information from the #gamemp3s release history and organizes my folders accordingly. All subfolders (album names) are untouched, so this should work out well.

Any suggestions on how to get started?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Anyone, please.

This can't be an impossible task. I do have some experience with VisualBasic scripting, but I just need some pointers on this. At least I think VB would be a good way of getting something like this done.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The actual folder for Super Metroid "Sound in Action" has normal quotes in it.

Still, I don't want to rename these folders, but rather have them moved to their respective YEAR-MONTH-DAY\ subfolder, so all I need to do is compare my folder names from that release list and put them in the right subfolder. All of them are currently in the same folder.

If there are some special characters that can't be read, I might as well sort those folders out manually.

Thanks a lot for your reply, any help is greatly appreciated.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
