Default USB Drive and nested folders for music

I was wondering if there are settings on the PS3 to allow it to read deeper nested music. I've got mine sorted like this:

Main Drive->MUSIC->Artists->Albums->Songs

It only reads down to Artists, so any single songs in the artists sub folders are read, but it ignores the Album folders.

I find this is the easiest way to format my music for my computer, and slapped my drive on the PS3, but it's coming up empty on a lot of the folders.

I'd rather not have to set it up as:

Main Drive->MUSIC->Artists->Songs

This gets lengthy when you've got 10 albums by the same artist and you've got to wade through a hundred + songs.

Os it formatted NTFS, PS3 will only read FAT32.

Yeah it reads it fine, that's not the problem. The problem is it can't read nested folders that deep.

Press > Display All instead of just to access the USB drive.
