Re: [Banshee-List] Seems there's no extension that can auto rename music files via tags?

Yes I have noticed this option before but it does make any change to
these files. I've tested it again and again but it just didn't work
out, I don't know why. And, according to the "Folder Hierarchy" under
SourceSpecific tab literally, it would maintain a tree structure to
categorize files, which also doesn't see the changes. However, I
usually put all the music files under a single folder in a NTFS
partition so I can enjoy them under Windows, too.

After all, I still have this problem :(
