The "dumb computer generated one" is only as dumb as the tags it is
populated with. Putting as much effort into the tags as you do into
your tree potentially yields a lot more benefits, because it's a
relational database rather than a flatfile database, which is what your
music folder is. A tag-based database is just as useful for those who
play an entire albums as it is for those who play random mixes.

Most of all, by using tags well you can have tracks with multiple
genres, or search/browse by composer, conductor, or other
characteristics. Of course, the big gotcha for classical music lovers
is that most tagging schemes are poorly suited for classical music, but
there are workarounds (see the wiki for some examples).

I don't know about any hacks like you mention, but if you haven't
looked at Erland's Custom Browse plugin you should - it might do what
you need.
