"See that folder music? Put it in there" is an absolutely horrible way to deal with music
I completely disagree. You can put the songs of each album in a separate folder with the name of that album. It's really the only sane way to maintain a serious music collection. Its structure does not depend on any application except the file system itself. The location of each file is static, well known and searchable with standard file searching tools. And as a side benefit the structure of the collection is independent of the device as well.
iTunes does this - it is stored as "Artist/Album/discid-trackid track name" on the file system. However, the user interface exposes many attributes that are not visible when basing yourself on the filesystem as the interface: Genre, playlists, composer/director/artist, bpm and more. It also makes it easier to find tracks by individual artists on compilation albums.
Of course, the files are still independent on the device even if itunes are used on top...
