I've used 2-tier Genre naming for years in Media Jukebox (like Rock\80s, Rock\Hard, Jazz\Fusion, etc). Have to with thousands of songs. In Jukebox the [Genre]\[Artist] - [Album] location rule did a good job of creating or using a subdirectory of 80's within the Rock directory, for example.
Now I find that Media Center will instead create a single directory of Rock_80s\...
Is there any way to get the old subdirectory method back?
Thanks;

MC now automatically converts any characters that can't be used in flenames into underscores. It used to be a pain to get cover art for albums with question marks in them. Probably the best thing for you to do is to make a new field called Subgenre, then fill properties from filenames with the directory rule set to [Genre]\[SubGenre]. This should convert all your existing tracks to having Genre and Subgenre. Then you can use this same rule for renaming new tracks.

I suspected Media Center would no longer allow this. SubGenre is not really a valid field\data model because it's a child of genre & it would be a mess to piece together what my valid sub-genres are within a particular genre. Back to JukeBox 8.
