I'm a little simpler.

For music I know all the information about:
Artist / Album / Title by Artist.extension

For music I just know artist and title I have a flat directory of:

Title by Artist.extension

The problem with my method is sorting.  If early on I had decided to
be more traditional and use:

Artist - Title.extension

As I imagine most people do... Sorting by artist in a directory
listing would be a no brainer.

If you are going to take the time, I'd suggest a minimum of Artist -
Title.extension but probably more ideally would be a minimum of Artist
/ Artist - Title.extension

Good luck!
