"Plan B" to avoid Google Music messing with my audio files

After being fustrated by Google Music Android app not honoring .nomedia, I finally found a great way to avoid the problem.  It turns out that Google Music can't recognize files that stores 2 levels deeps.  So you if have a folder /MyStuff and put mp3 files in it, Google Music will pick it up and index it in its catalog.  But if you put the mp3 files in /MyStuff/SuperAwesome, then Google Music will ignore it.  So all I need to do from my now is move my audio files in folders at least 2 levels deep.
