Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I have just discovered that you can drag songs, albums, artists and even genres from rhythmbox to a nautilus windows to copy the songs they contain. And it's just amazing.

The downside of it is that it copies everything in the folder you dragged it to, which is fine if you are dragging random songs but not so much if it's several albums you drag because all the songs get mixed together.

If you drag one or several albums, or even artists or genres, subfolders should be created with the pattern "artist - album", containing the songs related to that album and ideally the cover art, if possible.

"This isn't really possible. All we do is pass a list of source URLs to
nautilus (or wherever the drop goes), we don't get to tell it where to put the
files."
