I've thought about using it for music, but for me its not worth the bother.

MediaMonkey is far superior to Calibre for Movies. It has a build in DLNA server that allows me to stream the library to any compatible DLNA device on my network. Music is the same way.
Calibre storing it as Author/BookTitle/Book formats works perfect(thanks to those that mentioned it, haven't had time to look yet). If SQL breaks on my computer the most I lose is the interface to the media. The media itself still safely exists in a logical tree structure on the server. Rebuilding the database is a matter of minutes. All it will need to do is rescan the library and import the tags and store file locations in the database.
I know people who store their music
Album\Artist\track.mp3
This works for multiartist albums.. but when you have "Greatest Hits".. you end up with several albums under that. The sane way (what I use) if you want to play only one artist.. its right there in one spot for all their single artist albums.
