I rely on tags rather than file structure for Classical

Foobar2000, which I use, can be set up to sort by multiple tag field combinations. Favorites I've set up include:
Composer/Genre/Album
Genre/Composer/Album
Artist/album

In my case 'Genre' for classical music means Symphony vs. Concerto vs. Chamber ... etc. Also 'Artist' is album artist unless unavailable.

I'm using Foobar on the PC and it allows me to choose folder structure. I really like that. Everything was great until I wanted to use the Moode GUI on a Raspberry Pi to add the music library to the hifi - if I wanted graphic (and I did) it needed consistent tagging if I wanted to easily find stuff.

The strict folder structure was something I wanted because the vinyl collection has been digitized and I manually move those rips into the library. Actually manually move the CD rips and live digital downloads into it as well.

I started out allowing iTunes to manage the music library. What a mess.

  You can't be too careful! ;-)

    Sounds like a good idea. If an album isn't vinyl rip I indicate a live download (always lossless) or CD in the album name. Think I'll have to expand on that when/if I get into higher rez files.
    
    Codec, sample rate, bit/sample, bit rate, sample rate, and other info is stored in FLAC not sure how if I can display it on my players other than put it into the Metadata. The Qobuz app displays this kind of info in a sidebar when albums are playing.
