It doesn't work if you music is not in one central location. For instance, mine is spread between a NAS and a Server. I started to use the NAS as my main storage, but it became full, so I started putting my music on my Server(was mainly for video). So I have two paths for my music(for the time being) one for my NAS, one for my Server. Eventually I will move the music over to the server(need to buy a new licence ) but I think others might be in the same boat, especially if they don't use a central storage location(internal hard drives)
Just my 2 cents.. I developed code for the script to strip down to the artist name originally, but then noticed the method Stoli was using(though I may put the code back in as well). This also will be problematic with artists with special characters in their name(AC/DC for instance, since the forward slash is considered a indicator for a folder in Linux and other OSes)
Ultimately it would be nice for XBMC to provide the path at all levels of the music(Artist, Album, and Song - right now only the song level has the path) but this is actually done by design, since not everyone has thier music separated by Artist --> Album, some just have it thrown into a mixed folder too...
