Music File Storage Preference


I'm trying to sort out the last details before setting up a music server. I need to supply several rooms with sound so the Sonos made the most sense for me. I have about 1500 CD's ripped to FLAC files and plan to move them to NAS Drives on my wireless router. Using a Sonos Bridge to send out the signals.

Any thoughts on how the files should be stored on the drives? Right now each CD is in a separate folder with an "Artist - Album Name" label. Does that work best or should I do an Artist folder and then a sub-folder for each Album title? Should multiple disc albums be in one folder or each CD in a separate folder? I really only want to do this once!

I'm trying to get the best combination for the Sonos software, but I'll also keep a separate index in MediaMonkey on my PC.

Thanks for your input!
Paul :)

I'm in the middle of that right now. Separate folder for each artist with subfolders for each album (at least for now). I may decide to combine the multidisc albums into a common folder, but that's easy to do later (I don't have that many multidisc sets).
