I assume that the number of folders is already the correct one which means that no new folders have to be created, just the existing ones have to be renamed.  
Then I would suggest the following.  
First create an action of the type "Format value" for \_DIRECTORY (you may have to type it in) with the  
Format string: `c:\music\%artist%\%album%\`  
(use an absolute path)  
This moves all files to the new location, including the non-audio files.  
When that is done, rename the files, and only the files without a path component:

> [@djdanko1](#):
>
> $num(%track%,2) - %title%

As the files are already in the new folder, only the filename has to be adapted.
