It's not unusual for thumbnails to be in the directory with the MP3s. For the most part each album is a folder and the tree is not deep. The path and filename length is not very long, almost exclusively under 80 characters. The exception to the `each album` are a couple of folders with singles from various artists and they are not part of the problem.
