Bug Description

When adding music files, they're stored under folders that follow the original Artist / Album names, and aren't renamed after the new, corrected names.

Example:

-I add a 10-song album, named "Frop", by "Bob Dobbs", with songs named A, B, C...H, I, and J.
-In the ID3 tag, the artist name isn't "Bob Dobbs", but "Dob Bobbs", and the album name "Frop" is misspelled as "Prof".

-In the Music Library Folder, songs are stored under folder structure Music/Dob Bobbs/Prof/
-In Rhythmbox, I correct ID3 tags, so artist name is "Bob Dobbs", album name is "Frop".

-Expected: directory structure changes from Music/Dob Bobbs/Prof/ to Music/Bob Dobbs/Frop/
-What happens: directory structure is *still* Music/Dob Bobbs/Prof/

In Banshee, this directory structure is renamed after the ID3 tags. Rhythmbox doesn't seem to do this.
I want to switch to Rhythmbox because it's still maintained and uses less memory, unlike Banshee.

I'm using elementary OS Loki, based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Rhythmox version is 3.4.0.

Thank you for your bug report. Indeed rhythmbox is on low maintainance nowadays, you would still have a better chance by sending the issue upstream to the people writing the software

Changed in rhythmbox (Ubuntu):
importance: Undecided → Low
