I really like banshee's "Update file and folder names (Enabling this option ensures that files and folders are renamed according to their metadata" preference option, which keeps your ~/Music folder organized based on the folder hierarchy you specify.

However, currently this renaming only takes place when you save metadata to a file. It would be useful to have a button that causes this to happen for the whole library (e.g., so you can rename/reorganize on first import of an existing library). The only way to achieve this today is to select all songs, right click and choose 'edit track information' and then keep clicking Forward (or keep pressing ALT+F) to go through all the songs without changing any of the values, then on the final song hitting 'Save', this causes the renaming process to be invoked. It would be nice if this was more intuitive.
