There is a function called organize files that does this. It will rename the
files to agree to your tags, although you have to change the tag first.
This is like this because I believe most of the devs preferred that amarok not
touch the files. I prefer this because I have a very specific directory
structure associated with where the file came from. I'd have a mess on my
hands if amarok started renaming everything.
