The full standard `Action` I use is to `Format Value` for `_filename` using this naming string;  
`E:\Music\$left(%albumartistsort%,80)\$left(%albumsort%,80)\$ifgreater(%totaldiscs%,1,$left(%discnumber%,1)-,)$num(%track%,2) $left(%titlesort%,80)`

This specifies the drive, folders, and filename based off of the metadata tags in each file. As long as those are all updated and accurate, this action can be saved and used to move files to consistent location for every artist and album.

I do have a couple of variations I use to change the drive and folder for special music like Christmas and Halloween titles to keep them separate from my main music library. But with this base string you can modify to use any other field that helps define your needs.
