I believe there are some circumstances (certainly used to be, but may have 
changed?) where the source folder does matter.

I think songs are only considered to be on the same album if they are in the 
same source folder.  The reason for this is to avoid albums with the same name 
being merged together (the "Greatest Hits" problem).

If for example all songs in your collection were located in the same source 
folder, all songs would appear in one single compilation album.
If each song were in its own individual source folder, I believe they would 
appear as a separate album entry for each song.

Also, if there are no tags, SC can guess the tags based on folder heirarchy 
rules.
