It is important to remember that the Sooloos folders are fully managed folders by the Sooloos system software. This software expects to find and search for objects in a particular format, ie track01.FLAC. If you change the format of these objects, then the Sooloos software may no longer work as expected either now or at some point in the future when it is too late to revert. The effect of this may range to non obvious to catastrophic.

Metadata on the other hand, is content, and we know that most/al tags are available for users use. When you import via Control:xx, Sooloos does not populate these. When you import pre ripped files, Sooloos keeps your tagging.

Other than renaming the file on import to track01 etc., Sooloos is non destructive on the content. So ask yourself, why does Sooloos go to the effort of renaming files in import? Is it for a genuine reason, or is it for naming consistency.

For the same reason that you wouldn't go into a blind persons house and move all their furniture around, you should not go into the Sooloos managed folders and reorganise all its files. You simply do not know what trouble it will cause.
