when I did this I used muzicbrainz picasa to ensure all my music was tagged,
then i used the class from http://getid3.sourceforge.net/ to read each file
then move it to  ~/Music/Artist/Artist-Song.ext  I googles a few hours for
something that would do this and in the end had to do a php cli script...
