Bug Description

I think people have their music folders organized their own way and Noise ruins that.

It's 2013, there's no reason anyone should be manually organizing their music files. But if you really want to, you can turn it off

Can't agree. Noise must be smart enough to not touch people's music when they choose to import a folder (and not start fresh). Also, usually it's too late to turn of that feature - the harm is done. So either provide a way to undo the "organization" or don't do it by default; or be smart enough to organise when the folder was actually unorganized.

@dan: IMHO, this should really be *disabled* by default, and make it clear what is going to to happen if you enable it. Your argument is really right, since Noise is "virtualizing" your music-archive anyway. So why even bother how the files are organized on the disk.
