I dual-boot, and in Windows, I use an awesome program for music maintenance called MediaMonkey, which sadly, isn't Open Source, but still awesome nonetheless. Anyway, one of the things it lets you do is sort and import your libraries by practically any format you could find imaginable. I have that program setup to import and store my music in the following format:

G:\Tunes\<Genre>\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Track Number> - <Track Artist> - <Track Title>.<Extension>

Is there a way to change the default setups in whatever music program I choose to use? It seems to be the same no matter what program I use if it's a GNOME-based program. I've used Banshee and Rhythmbox, but both only leave me with the following options:

Folder:
Album Artist/Album/
Album Artist/Album Artist - Album/
Album Artist/Album (Year)
Album
Album Artist

File:
Number. Title
Number. Track Artist - Title
Track Artist - Title
Track Artist - Number - Title
Track Artist (Album) - Number - Title
Title

Is there any way to change it to allow it to be
Genre/Album Artist/Album and Track Number - Track Artist - Title?

That would be awesome if there's some place to do that.

Thanks in advance!!!

Try using Quod Libet, it uses Taglib which can do all the customised tagging you want. It's also good for gapless audio.
