Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox-ubuntuone-music-store

Downloaded files are stored in the following location:
~/.ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One/ARTIST/ALBUM/TITLE.mp3
I just bought an album which contains tracks from several different artists, and the above rule was unfortunately blindly followed, so now the album is spread over a bunch of different artist-directories.

Expected result:
These kinds of albums should maybe be stored with a rule like this:
~/.ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One/Various Artists/ALBUM/ARTIST - TITLE.mp3
(In general it would also be nice to have the CD number (for multi-disc albums) and track number in the filename too.)

Ubuntu 11.04 with rhythmbox-ubuntuone-music-store 0.2.0-0ubuntu1.

This appears to be an issue on the server side. Moving it over there. We should check for an "Album Artist" tag if we aren't already, and use that for the artist directory, and fall back to the individual artist only if the tag isn't there.
