Currently, XBMC saves ripped CD tracks as:
<music folder>/<album>/<track file name>
Where:
* <music folder> is set in "Settings > Music > Audio CDs > Saved music folder".
* <album> is read from CDDB info
* <track file name> is formatted according to the rules given in "Settings > Music > Audio CDs > Track naming template" setting.
I prefer to organize my music library in folders like this:
<music folder>/<album artist>/<album>/<track file name>
where <album artist> could also be read from CDDB.

for exact the same request)
I would like to implement this feature, i.e. to allow more flexibility in naming folder where ripped music is saved. But, I'm not sure how user should set her/his preferences.
One option would be to use single setting ("Track naming template") to set both folder name and track name - something like this "%A/%B/%N - %T", where %A/%B is folder format, and %N - %T is track format. If folder name is not set (there is no /) than default would be %B, exactly like it is now.
Other option would be to introduce, along with the "Track naming template", a new setting called "CD rip folder naming template" just for the folder names.
What do you think?
