You are bored to click on add files to the playlist and you want something more dynamic or more evovled than the album list directory structure function/ This component will satisfy you. With one click, you will be able to do all you want with your files according to their physical structure.

Tip/Trick

Personally, I put it in the sidebar on the left while my other components are above my playlist, I use Create toggle area to left of sidebar in the sidebar tab (Display, UI columns) and I hide or open it if I have to change my playlist with a click on the left of my screen, it's fast and useful to change my playlists.
