Darn you people, never satisfied are you? 
Ok, two ways:
First method:
Set the workingdir to the directory in which all album directories are located. Then create a list using the following template (using the "include subdirs" option):
| Code Sample | | c:\\temp\\<Genre>\\<Filepath relative>; <Filepath absolute> |
Then go to the "Tag/rename from list" tool, and process this list in rename mode, with the following template:
| Code Sample | | <New name AP>; <Old name AP> |
Done!
Second method:
Using as working dir any directory above the albums you want to process (not necessarily one level above, as in the first method), set the "Direct rename files" tool to the following templates (and activate the "include subdirs" option):
Expected:
| Code Sample | | <Custom1><\><Custom2>.mp3 |
Output:
| Code Sample | | c:\temp<\>TheCurrentGenre<\><Custom1><\><Custom2>.mp3 |
Then do one sweep for each genre type you want to sort out, setting the filter to this genre type, and setting the string "TheCurrentGenre" in the template above to this genre name too.
The first method has the advantage of only doing one sweep (in two tools) for processing all files, but it needs all the album directories to be located in a common parent directory to be able to process them in one sweep.
The second method has the advantage of being able to process albums scattered in any kind of directory structure, but it does instead need one processing sweep for each genre type you want to sort out.
Choose the one that fits you best.
So, satisfied now?

On the other hand I'm not even sure about how it would be implemented in a good way at all. For example, if not all files in their directory are moved to the exact same place, then it would be impossible to know where to put them, and so on. So I almost don't feel bad for not being able to do that.
