Sure, assuming that you are only accessing your data with that program.

Organizing music in a directory hierarchy makes them far easier to manage in 
your file manager (for renaming, deleting, backing up, copying, etc), and far 
easier to work with between multiple applications with who-knows-what 
playlist format, since nearly any application supports "Load this directory".

Personally I don't use tags at all. I name my files intelligently and store 
them inteligently., then run a script to strip all ID3 tags from the files so 
apps are forced to use the filename.

Makes everything much more consistant.
