While the feature is not there, you get get along with some commands
that I found useful for myself.

If you have everything under /foo/bar, rename your whole collection with
the absolute path, IE, "/foo/bar/%bla%bla.mp3, and to get rid of empty
dirs just do "find /foo/bar -type d -exec rmdir \{\} \;"

Anyone has any idea of how the program can behave?
Maybe it can keep track of renamed directory, to clean up later?
Or it should do something like cvs does, open a dir as base and keep
your desired folder names always relative to this base and always trim
empty folders?
