This will be a never ending topic I believe. And it all is a matter of
taste...

Just for your information: I live by an "Performing Artist"/Album
structure. Tracks are tracknumber. trackname. For "classical" music (or
music typically not performed by the composer, like for instance
Thelonious Monk or Ludwig van Beethoven) the album is preceded with the
composers (last) name.
There's a Various Artists for compilations.

But frankly as long as tagging is done correctly there is in principle
no need to use a folder structure; just put them in one folder and let
the software do the rest.

As a bonus, my dbPoweramp CD Ripper uses the following naming macro:

[IFCOMP][IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],Various
Artists[]\[album][IFMULTI] ([disc] of [disc_total])[]\[track]
[artist][][IF!COMP][IFVALUE]album artist,[album
artist],[artist][]\[album][IFMULTI] ([disc] of
[disc_total])[]\[track][]. [title]

which will work if you obtain the proper settings from the internet and
correct them if needed (almost always for multi CD albums and for
"classical" CDs). As for vinyl, I'm at a loss. You cannot play vinyl
with the Slimdevices products (unfortunately), mine only play FLAC
files. So I make sure the track get the proper tags. I might add in the
comments the origin of the track.
