Original, the browse view was designed to just see the truth from the HD like a file manager would do.

Since many users, including me know sometimes a track by store position in a file system folder, It is more continent to find it in the broth tree, than sort and filter the library by location.

I am also aware that not only a few user select all of there tracks from th browse tree. IMHO this just works by an accident ;-) .. because the user experience is real bad: No library support, Slow and tree navigation feels bad.

Virtual folders below the Library tree node:

A static solution showing all library folders, seams to be a weekend project and would solve the most of the bugs above at once.
