I have a similar problem regarding the naming convention, I have:

/(artist)/(album)/(tracknum) - (title)

What I thought might be better would be to have a templating string, then that could be used to extract the relevant fields. Thus using keywords, such as ARTIST, ALBUM, etc you should be able to extract the right field from the right portion of the path. So my template would look like:

/ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACKNUM - TITLE

I already do the extraction using File::Find::Rule (ain't it grand ... thanks Rich), but haven't gotten round to doing all the MP3 tagging. So I'll be having a jolly good play with this script once I'm back from YAPC::Europe.

A fine effort.
