The fact that I can control the file structure is vital to the way I keep my music organised. My music is all stored on a completely seperate hard disk, which is shared between all of my computers.
Having the music organized properly into folders means that it's easy for anyone to access the music, using whatever media player they want. My own personal preference is Winamp, and I don't use the media library to access files. If I want to play a file, I navigate to it's folder, and play it that way. If I wish to play an album, I navigate to the folder containing the album, and right click on it, and press play this folder in winamp.
If somebody asks me to find them a particular song on a particular album, I can find it in seconds because I know the file structure. i can then quickly copy it onto cd for them in either Audio CD or Mp3 format.
