Have your music files got "TAGS"? Are you using .mp3's or .wav's etc? The folder structure wont matter for building the library because xbmc creates the library from the ID3 tags stored in the audio files. the folder structure only really becomes use full for when you browse in file mode.
I personally use
Genre
-->Artist
---->Album
------>song.mp3
The only things that relied on folder structure were things like the cdart.png but now that works by looking in the folder of the currently playing song so the structure no longer matters really.
RBX
PS. I think I heard somewhere that xbmc does not read "TAGS" from .wav files either, so if your using .wav files, it wont work.
