Creating tags based purely on dirname/filename is not great. Even if your files are all organized nicely artist/album/file there is still the difficulty of decoding the filename itself, and the additional complexity of how multidisc releases are dealt with. Even if you deal with that you still have to deal with the limitations of the filenames themselves (which differ for different operating systems and drive formats). Such as not be able to store accents like é and just storing e, using underscore for space, case lost , limitations on file length ectera.And filenames will only be able to retrieve a very basic set of metadata (typically artist, album, trackno,track title).

Automated tagging based on online sources is far more accurate and effective.
