What if I want to look at a list of composers, but the folder structure is by artist?

What about playlists?

The limitation of the folder is that there’s only one.

Your player scans your library and indexes/sorts it however you'd like. I think this is how basically every player with a library function works? Like jellyfin loads my library in the same structure I've had it for 20 years, and it gives me various ways to view by name, artist, release date, rating, etc. and builds search indexes. I just point it to the roots of my libraries.

I said it needs a place to write playlists (or write access to your playlist folder(s)).

I wouldn't do it this way, but there can be more than one folder containing the same file (hardlinks).
