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.

Then you will be delighted to know that calibre stores all books as
Author/Title (calibre-id)/Title - Author.epub
Author/Title (calibre-id)/Title - Author.mobi
Author/Title (calibre-id)/Title - Author.azw3
Author/Title (calibre-id)/Title - Author.pdf
Author/Title (calibre-id)/Title - Author.whatever
Author/Title (calibre-id)/cover.jpeg
Author/Title (calibre-id)/metadata.opf
Very easy to manage via the file browser, although custom tagging will not be visible in the directory structure. And all the metadata is in the metadata.opf, which can be read as straight XML.
