Just found this package https://github.com/Meallia/audio-file-indexer which seems to be using the same method as Subsonic to index files based on the path (Artist/Album/Songs) and use ID3 too.

I don't see how it's better honestly. More overhead maybe. Anyway don't fix what's not broken now.

Better in the way that all music files doesn't have correct ID3 tags or no ID3 tags at all and you may have sometimes something like "Artist unknown". Moreover, ID3 tags are not used in the same way according to the file format. This is one the reason why subsonic is popular.
