As it turned out, the OP's collection was non-classical so a tag based approach is definitely superior, unless of course you don't need that flexibility, or you desire a different flexibility e.g. ragged hierarchies e.t.c.

I keep meaning to dig into classical tagging, only as an academic exercise really as I don't listen classical, but wouldn't you ever want to browse all Beethoven's works/performances of Symphony number 5/Karajan recordings? How would you achieve that with folder view?

I'd love to see an example of how you store that "album" vs how it would be tagged (realising you're not the person to be asking about the tagging).
