I agree totally with the person who intially requested this feature. I have recently imported a large collection of music from someone that was not overly systematic with their file naming conventions. Back in iTune, I would simply import it with the "organise my library" selected and the file and directory structures would be created. If there was incorrect information in song details (as there invariably is) then changing those details in iTunes would mean the corresponding files would be changed. A good example is where soemone has a typo in the artist or album name and therefore additional unecessary directories are created for the saem thing. It is quite frustrating as I am trying very hard to get a Linux alternative to iTunes, but there is nothing in the Linux world that does everything that iTunes does. Rhythmbox seems the closest but simple things like sorting and library file organising are sorely missing. Get those sorted and you have a Linux iTunes real alternative. Keep up the good work!!
