I changed the way of sorting a bit:

H:\Artist\Album#Discnumber - Tracknumber - Title [Orig. Artist Cover].extension  
H:\Compilation\Album  
H:\Bootlegs\Artist\Concert

The criteria bootleg, album or compilation is checked by the field %cd-type% which I use to specify the type of record.

I attached the syntax to better show it.

For single artist albums, I use:

... \My Music\Artist\Album\Artist - Album - Track - Title.mp3  
if it has multiple discs in one album, each disc gets it's own Album folder with (Disc X) on the end.

For Soundtracks and any other Various artists albums, I use:  
... \My Music\Album\Album - Track - Artist - Title.mp3

I don't do any delineation by genre as some artists cross genres between albums and sometimes on the same album.
