Agreed. Although I appreciate the 'hacker sensibility' of using a hierarchical filesystem, such a structure is simply never going to cut it for music. There are too many opportunities for multiple tagging and too many areas that don't fit into the hierarchical approach.
In addition, depending on your chosen music player, practicalities dictate that changing file and folder paths is invasive and error prone - the file location is often a music player's 'primary key' for a given piece of music. Moving it around will lose associated data. It's best just to go with a real simple filesystem hierarchy of data that won't change, artist/album.
