Don't forget to munge the album name so it's an acceptable directory
name. Here's some code for that:
Code:
TRANSLATE_TABLE = string.maketrans(' /*:', '__+-')
DELETE_TABLE = ''.join(chr(i) for i in range(32)) + '\'"?'

return s.translate(TRANSLATE_

I think EasyTag has a file/directory rename feature that can use tags...
I'd advice a backup before trying though, whatever software you use.
