File naming help to itunes folder structure

[nyxtyr]

Hello, I am looking to better organize my folders and files. I am looking to rename and organize them as similar as possible to the default itunes scheme.

C:\MBP\Artist1\Album1\01 TrackTitle.ext
C:\MBP\Artist1\Album1\02 TrackTitle.ext
C:\MBP\Artist1\Album1\03 TrackTitle.ext
C:\MBP\Artist1\Album1\04 TrackTitle.ext

Currently albums that have multiple artists on a track are sorting per their own folder like

Art1\Album1\01 TrackTitle.ext
Art1 + Art2\Album1\02 TrackTitle.ext
Art1 & Art2\Album1\03 TrackTitle.ext
Art1 feat. Art2\Album1\04 TrackTitle.ext

Thanks for any help
