Hi, my english is not good, anyway... what we are asking here is a more flexible way to organize big colections of music, in my job the list we are using now have about 7000+ songs, and growing. I will try to explain the feature here by a graph, if still you have doubts, i will try another way or something:
I will try to explain you with examples:

You currently CAN go this way in Mixxx :
ParentFolder
       |-------List of songs

but you CAN'T DO:
Parent Crate
       |-------SubCrate
       | |---List of Songs
       |
       |-------SubCrate
                     |---subsubCrate
                     | |---lists of songs
                     |
                     |---subsubCrate
                             |---lists of songs

Note: Crate and one level of subcrate will be enough for almost every one and i almost can't imagine a case where more than 2 levels of subcrates will be necessary.
I have been expecting subcrates levels for more than 2 years in Mixxx, it is a pity i don't know nothing about programing :/
