Bug Description

Amarok has the ability to manage files by right clicking on them. It's very convenient to be able to organize your music directory automatically like that. For instance, I usually down load thing straight to the desk top. With Amarok I can simply right click on a recently added album in my collection and select manage files and it is moved to the directory with the rest of my music and put into the same sort of file hierarchy.

I'd love to see in Exaile.

This ticket was migrated from the old trac: re #663

The "organise music" feature of Amarok was very useful and something I'd also like to see be included in Exaile. It helps to keep a nice clean and properly tagged music library.

Yeah, this feature is totally key for me. Being able to organize music is a great time saver and organizational tool.

This is an important feature for many people - myself included. While too complex to make it for 0.3.0, I am going to make this a priority for 0.3.1 (or whatever we end up using as the next version).

Key points of organization i have planned:
    - support organizing on a per-library basis
    - extend organization support to the massstorage device plugin and anywhere else it would be useful
    - an expressive language for handling mapping of metadata to tags (currently looking at using a subset of python here)
          - a nice GUI for those who dont need the full power of this mapping language

ah, one thing i forgot:
    - when moving from one fs to another fs, detect incompatible characters and remove/replace them sanely. this is useful for, eg. fat32 formatted HDs and PMPs, which have a more restricted character set than ext4 or other unix fses.
