No, I have a folder called "wifey's music" (because that's how she wants it, 
and I prefer my bed to my couch) and in there I've dumped all the individual 
songs she's bought.  She's then gone in and done some further organizing by 
artist and such.  I also have a few "custom" folders for compilation albums 
(i.e. "Christmas Music" or "Sound Tracks") that then go Album -> Track.

Beyond that I have my directories going Artists A - E, Artists F - J, etc -> 
Artist -> Album -> Tracks.  I don't do genres because they are too 
subjective so multiple categories aren't an issue.
