I just answered my own question for anyone who is interested. I
found this tool on a german guys iDisk: Sort-O-Mat... It's an
Applescript Studio app but you can look at the source script by
looking in the Resources folder. Here's the link:

yeah, that uses iTunes to retrieve tags, etc., which works
fine. there are many dozens of iTunes scripts available,
such as at:

an alternative would be to use perl, which has a library for
MP3 tag info. i think you'd be able to do things you can't
do in iTunes, such as convert files to a newer ID3 tag
version. perl would probably also be much faster (i've found
iTunes slow at mass manipulations), but might not handle
Unicode filenames. for an example, see this post on another
list:

of course, it could be integrated into an AppleScript
workflow ...
