By this, I mean the treatment of the items in a folder does not vary depending on what is in the folder's parent folder and/or child folders. This was a deliberate design choice to make MinimServer neutral with respect to the folder hierarchy

I can certainly see the appeal of the neutral folder hierachy, there are some definite advantages with it.

Although my experience with tagging has made me firmly believe that it usually makes sense to store music in the form artist/album and then use tags to represent music in the other ways you might want to view this. The reason being that music is always sold in the form of artist/release (where release can be album, single etc) and therefore if you want to check the integrity of your music collection it is much easier if you have defined album folders that remain even if your metadata is messed up.

I could easily modify SongKong to add an album cover as an artist folder.jpg when no artist image could be found, but I don't want to do this since I am then creating wrong data. Okay, nevermind it was just a minor idea.
