Where and how do you keep music?

Continuing the discussion from In the beginning… a filesystem:

Similar to Where do you keep roms?, but for musical consideration.

This is kinda weird, because naming stuff is not as unique as it is in gaming (I believe). I suppose people sort by artist/album as a high-level directory scheme. I plan on using Picard, the MusicBrainz metadata tagger thing, and I can have it process and place the files, which would be great; I used to used two different apps to do that, after moving them into place!

Since I plan on testing Opus as a primary play format, I’ll be experimenting for a while, but once I have a sense of it I’ll be placing all the lossless files in a cold storage system, while distributing the practical play files far and wide.

What is a good set for music? What about things that don’t easily fall into “artist/album”?

Going with basic artist/release, following a lot of how MusicBrainz is setup.
