 ### Copying, Moving and Deleting
 
-`copy` (`cp`) and `move` (`mv`) transfer the tags of a file to another path. By default only the tags are transferred; `-f` (`--file-operation`) also copies or moves the file itself. The destination needs a directory part, so write `./new.mp3` rather than `new.mp3`. With `-f`, a destination ending in `/` keeps the file name.
+`copy` (`cp`) and `move` (`mv`) transfer the tags of a file to another path. By default only the tags are transferred; `-f` (`--file-operation`) also copies or moves the file itself. With `-f`, an existing folder as destination keeps the file name. Without `-f`, a folder as destination gets the tags itself.
