Quod Libet will let YOU decide how to display the files.

Directory and/or file name is available. In my screenshot (link below) I 
added it as the last column, but you can make it the only column if 
that's what you want. Number, types and order of columns are completely 
customizable.

You can create columns based on any tag, including QL's 'internal' tags.
