Bug Description

Preface: Not sure if it's just this album or applies to all compilations. I'm not willing to purchase another one to test this out :-)

Purchased and downloaded "Bedrock 11" by John Digweed from Ubuntu One Music Store. When retrieving my music, instead of seeing a directory called "Bedrock 11" (or similar) that contained my music, I was confronted by a collection of top-level directories which were the names of the artists, under which was the name of the album, and under that the MP3(s) belonging to that artist in that compilation.

Expected something along the lines of:
/- Bedrock 11 Compiled & Mixed John Digweed
   |- 1-trackA.mp3
   |- 2-trackB.mp3
   |- (etc)

But got:
/- Alan Fitpatrick
   |- Bedrock 11 Compiled & Mixed John Digweed
      |- trackName.mp3
/- Alan Fitzpatrick
   |- Bedrock 11 Compiled & Mixed John Digweed
      |- trackName.mp3
/- Alex Dolby featuring Santos
   |- Bedrock 11 Compiled & Mixed John Digweed
      |- trackName.mp3
/- John Digweed featuring Nick Muir
   |- Bedrock 11 Compiled & Mixed John Digweed
      |- trackNameA.mp3
      |- trackNameB.mp3
(continues on about a dozen more times)

Yes, the album meta-data must have a typo in Alan Fitzpatrick's name for one of his tracks, as can be seen above :-)

The problem with this is that the downloaded files are difficult to identify and manage, are essentially unsorted, and must be collated into a reasonable directory structure manually. Not a burning issue, but would be nice to download a compilation and not manually sift and sort through 35-odd MP3's.
