Relocation of a non-standard iTunes library structure
It sounds like this would be a good job for using aliases. If the only reason you are keeping your files apart is to know what to share and what not to share, can't you just make 3 folders full of aliases to the files. Each would have aliases to the various music files. You could then allow iTunes to manage your music library all it wants and you would never have to worry about it. If you wanted to share a certain type of file, just share the folder full of the proper aliases.
The only trouble might be when you add a new song to iTunes, but that can be handled via a simple script to add an alias to the proper folder. Here's a sample script. Enter it into Script Editor, make a folder to hold the aliases, change the target_folder variable to the path of this folder, and save it with an appropriate name in "~/Library/iTunes/Scripts/". Then just select the tracks you want to file an alias to and select this script from the Script menu in iTunes. You can repeat the process with as many categories as you want, just make another folder and another script, changing the appropriate bits. -----------
