I just ripped my 1st CD in MM5 (I have a few questions around Auto-Tag but that's for another day) and then I used the Auto-Tag feature which among other things changed the date. Then I Auto-Organised Files based upon the updated tags. It all looks fine within MM5 but I noticed that in Windows the old empty folder with the original Date still remains. In MM4 these empty folders were deleted by MM4. How do I get MM5 to delete the old folders?

Is Delete emptied folders enabled in the Auto-Organize Files window?

No, I missed that. I Thought that by copying the MMW4 database and MM4 MediaMonkey.INI files across to MMW5 that all these user preferences would have come across into MM5.

What other MMW4 settings have NOT come across to MMW5?

Can I go into Windows and delete those empty folders using File Explorer without upsetting MMW5?

Yes, you can delete these empty folder without problem. As they're empty, MediaMonkey no longer is connected to them.

MediaMonkey 5 is a separate install from MediaMonkey 4, and has quite a few differences. I recommend going through the Options to set them as required.
