================

Easily done with tag/name editors such as Mp3Tag and Tag&Rename.
In Mp3Tag, use [Convert] -> [Tag - Filename] and the following formatstring:
%artist%\%album%\%artist% - %album% - $num(%track%,2) - %title%

In Tag&Rename, it's [F4] (Rename Files function), with file name mask as follows:
%1\%3\%1 - %3 - %6 - %2
