ALAIK the folder set up for iTunes Music Library depends upon the id3 tag. So if the song file has an incorrect id3 tag, you can correct it within iTunes itself. Just select the song within iTunes, Command & i keys or go to file menu>Get info (or mighty mouse users use front button depending on your configuration of it) & then change the incorrect details or add what's missing. After you've finished, iTunes will automatically update its music library & any incorrectly labelled artist/album will be put into a new folder or existing folder of that artist. Check it out. As Only A Hobo suggested, if you have iTunes preferences set so it arranges the library (tick option to Keep iTunes Music Library organised), then iTunes will do this all in real time if any details are changed.

Attempting to do it manually outside of iTunes will not work properly. I always double-check the id3 tag info to make sure all details are correct. Arrange songs by date added temporarily. I also use Media Rage (previously mp3 Rage) to check all details. Media Rage is a tagging program & any file not added to iTunes, I check/add the id3 tag info & update the tag version before adding to iTunes. This is handy for albumwrap files in particular.
