I would much prefer to be able structure the file system to my preference and have calibre adapt to that. I use MediaMonkey for audio and video. I have a scheme I use that woorks well for me with that software. While it would let me have them randomly spread around, I structure it so...

Music = Artist / Album / Artist - Track.mp3
Video = Title first letter / title.m4v
Video Series = Series / Season X / title.m4v

This way if the SQL database goes boom I can still find what I want easily through explorer. I need to look at what Cal does when I put it on my server to try and use the content server I think I read it has.
