Audex CD ripping filename parameters

A small feature that was originally present in Amarok, and which I asked the developer of Audex to add to the CD ripping filename parameters:

Take only the first character(s) of the Artist, the result being that if, for example, you insert that in the filename string before the full Artist string, the ripped tracks will be sorted into alphabetical subfolders, i.e.:

/home/user/Music/A/Artist/Track.*
or potentially more fine-grained subfolders with the use of two or more characters in the string.

See the attached screenshot for how it's implemented in Audex.

This is particularly useful for large music collections where you don't want thousands of ripped discs in one big directory.
