Looking for easy way to rename MP3 tags then sort files into directories


Hey all,
This might not be the right place to ask this question, but it's software so I'll try this before going to Audio-specific boards. I have a bunch of MP3s (some ogg) with crazy names in crazy directories. I would like to make sure the tags are correct (possibly by hand) and then rename them/move them so that they are in places like

<artist>/<directory>/<songname>.mp3.

So I imagine a magic program where I can edit tags and then push a magic button that makes directories and copies the files as above. Any ideas?

Thanks!

exfalso is a nice and fairly powerful gtk tag and filename editor for mp3/ogg etc.

Another option (cli) would be arename.
