How do you structure your music so that it can be browsed by Album Artist thumbnails, though?

I use D:\XBMC\Music\MP3\AB\ABBA\Album

I use an extra layer of subdirectories, AB, CD, etc because I mostly use file mode and if I put all the artists in a single directory there are too many of them to browse comfortably. If you scan the music to the library the exact layout doesn't matter that much.

I can't comment on the Album Artist thumbnails since I don't use the library and I have few, if any, compilation albums. I try and make sure all the tracks have embedded images, and I guess if you do this the XBMC library will automatically show the correct thumbnail.
