Genre tagging: using available tag and order sorting

Code:

MUSIC/Artist/Album/<filename>

structure, so it would require a massive (massive!) restructuring of the library itself. Again - a complete non-starter.

Even were I to entirely remove all of the thousands of shared "Albumartist" values from the tags, I'd have no clue how to accurately reorder the music files as a result. For example "Ella & Duke At The Côte D'Azur" ... this album is released under both artist names. It would be arbitrary to assign it to one particular artist surely?

Do you create folders for collaborations e.g. /MUSIC/Ella Fitzgerald & Duke Ellington/Ella & Duke At The Côte D'Azur?

I only have 30 albums with multiple albumartists so I use the workaround described previously, but if you have hundreds/thousands then you're likely better off with another server.
