vgmrips - folder structure & composer info

Issue #8 closed
wothke repo owner created an issue

The information originally extracted from the respective VGMRIPS packs and scraped off their web pages is flawed. e.g. more precise composer info is sometimes found in the song files rather than the summary shown in their packs. Consequently the shown composer information is sometimes just incorrect, see http://localhost/playmod/?file=/VGMRIPS/1943/Harumi Fujita/1943 Kai; Midway Kaisen//vgm/Arcade/Capcom/1943_Kai_Midway_Kaisen_(1943)/06 Air Battle B (Round 2, 8).vgz&emulator=VGM

The currently chosen path hierarchy: system/composer/album(game)/ doesn’t work since “albums” often contain songs from different composers,.,

The “composer” folders should better be ditched (“search by composer” works better anyway) and composer information should be directly extracted from the respective song files..

    VGMRIPS folder has been replaced with new virtual folder structure; top level distinguishes Computer/Arcade/Console while lower levels then further sort by system subtype (e.g. for type of computer), publisher/creator or finally the vgmRips "pack" name.
