@Soap, And why not? Does it bug you? Do you think it is idiotic methodology? Please try to offer all the readers of this topic some of your own methodologies and insights apart from from asking me a terse question.
My system is what I prefer. As I stated, I use verbose folder names and I have developed my own standards for everything.
You also did notice that I mentioned my preference for "SINGLE FILE + (CUE | CHAPTER)" ...Therefore, I don't really get to see the separate track names anyway, also, I don't have to worry about Windows file path limit of 255 characters.
Rather than have this fairly typical naming scheme:[!--sizeo:1--][span style=\"font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\"][!--/sizeo--]
Artist/(Date) Album/This Is A Fantastically Long Album Image Name And It Is In Camel Case And More Than Likely Has Characters I Do Not Want.cue[/size]
I prefer to name things as in this complete example from my library:

I have the search program "EVERYTHING" pop up as a menu item in foobar2000. (it is configured to start at the root of my music library by taking input from a batch file).
I have the Windows command line program "FINDSTR" pop up as a menu item in foobar2000. (it is configured to start at the root of my music library by taking input from a batch file).
I only use lower case names.
I only use western latin alpha-numeric characters.
I do not use these characters--> Comma, Semi-Colon, Square brackets, Curly brackets.
I only use these special characters--> Space, Dot, Dash, Tilde, Number sign, Parenthesis (curved brackets).
I have a Wiki folder where I keep updated notes on all my standards.
I have a Template folder where I keep copies of things I want to replicate again.
For an example, If I go to my Wiki folder and open the text file named "TAG standard = Genre.txt", and copy out part of it, I see:
[font=Arial]#################################################################################################
MY MOTHER GENRES:
Composed
Electro
Jazz
Popular
Project
Rhythm
Rock
World
#################################################################################################
Separate GENRE subclasses by "Space_ForwardSlash_Space"
ie, X / Y
Also use subclass separator if WORK defines to more than one MOTHER GENRE
ie, Popular / Jazz
#################################################################################################
Separate GENRE subclass names by "Comma_Space"
ie, X, Y
If GENRE subclass name has space between double-word, then join double-word with "Dash"
ie, WRONG--> Popular / Rock / Soft Rock, Easy Listening
ie, RIGHT--> Popular / Rock / Soft-Rock, Easy-Listening
