Soundtracks, Classical music, OCRemix stuff, my "Assorted" folder (Individual tracks where I don't want or can't find the full album) and a large Psytrance Collection I have, they all have their own folders, so the format there runs like this:

D:\My Documents\My Music\Soundtracks\Baccano\Baccano! Original Soundtrack - Spiral Melodies\13. Yoshimori Makoto - Abikyoukan no Kurutta Butai.mp3

All downloads get their tags checked and updated, and any extra tags that the ripper has added get removed. I don't do anything about album art because I don't have a use for it. I never use it for reference, I don't have a convenient method of finding it, and I'm not going through 280GB of music manually adding album covers into the relevant folders just so I can ignore it entirely. Some of my music has it in the folders, some of it has it in the metadata, none of it is there through my intervention.

Also, I manually add Disc Number and Total Discs to all my music, even 1 disc albums have those fields filled in. If an album has multiple discs, I put each disc in its own folder and update the metadata to append "[Disc x]" to the album name. I also change the filename format from "05. Captain Dan And The Scurvy Crew - It's All About the Booty.mp3" to "1.05. Captain Dan And The Scurvy Crew - It's All About the Booty.mp3"

The reason I do that last thing is because it ensures that when I just use library view to add my whole music collection, it appears with the discs in order, rather than having both discs in a single folder, which results in BOTH first tracks appearing, then both second tracks, etc, one after the other. Obviously thats a pain if the album is a double disc and you want to listen start to finish, like War Of The Worlds.
