Directory structure for Classical Music Albums etc.

My own thoughts are as follows. Metadata tags in theory let you view your data in multiple different ways, and with MinimServer this is the reality. In contrast you can only have one folder structure and it has the problems you mention of long filenames/illegal chars so is not great for playing music. IMHO it is best for this to match the physical release you purchased because:
1. Most tools (including SongKong) work best with an AlbumArtist/Album type folder folder, usually with multiple Disc folders underneath for multi disc albums and box sets.
2. You then have a basic record of what you have regardless of any metadata problems
