When I developed my ripping strategy several years ago, I knew that access to my music would be controlled by metadata tags, not physical disk location. However, I made a very deliberate decision to make the folder structure as clear as possible.

I save most of my classical CD rips in album folders within composer name folders. Within each album folder, I also have work subfolders for each work that spans more than one track. When a CD contains music by more than one composer, I save the album folders under a 'Classical compilations' folder. From the beginning, setting mergeFolderAlbums=True generated the browsing tree results I desired.

It's no more than speculation, but my recent negative experiences when trying out the mergeFolderAlbums=False option might possibly be due to my chosen folder structure.

I will experiment with your alternative proposal and let you know how I get on.
