I don't want just the filename to be changed. I want the entire location of the file to change. I have about 5,000 songs at the root of a usb drive, and another 2,000 in the "lost+found" directory on the music drive. I need something to read the ID3 tags and move them from wherever they are to something like /mnt/music/%artist/%album/%artist - %track.*. In the case of compilations (like soundtracks, etc.) I have them tagged specifically enough that I can allow for that in something programmatically. I'm faced right now with two options: 1. Writing a script to read the tags and move the files based on the criteria above or 2. Moving all the files manually. I'd rather jump off a bridge rather than doing this manually.
