Data problems aside, if the files have good tags (including year in
your case) a database solution for flexable display is far superior
than having to organize files in a directory hierarchy.

Doing so allows you to solve the problem of multiple artists on a
track, various artist albums, multiple genres for a track (or album),
etc.  You can do much more dynamic sorting with good metadata to start
with.
