If you're going to be tagging your music properly, then you don't need
to worry about the directory structure.
A suitable directory structure can be used instead of tags ("Ignore ID3
Tags" option in MythMusic setup). In that case, you'd probably want
something like: <music storage path>/<genre>/<artist>/<album>/[tracks]
The actual directory structure is configurable. That being said,
properly tagged music files are generally better. At minimum (for
Myth), you'll want correct tags for Genre, Artist, Album and Track
Name. Track Number is nice to have, as is Year.
