Got perl? Do this:
perl -e 'for(`find . -type d`){chomp;$o=$_;if(s/.*-\s*//){rename $o,$_
unless
-d $_;};}'
It'll process a whole directory tree, and change <artist - album> to
<album>
regardless of the number of spaces in there. If <album> is non-unique
for a
particular <Artist> directory, it'll leave it alone.
