As an aside: I looking into Plex Media Server some years ago, but couldn't figure out its licensing and fees and opted for an open-source NAS solution, in my case Open Media Vault. The result is I can't try to duplicate your situation. Sorry.
Ok, so since I'm running Open Media Vault (a vanilla NAS) with miniDLNA enabled to make it a DLNA server the same way the moOde players can, it wouldn't be a fair test.
I just brought up the open-source Gerbera Media Server---a community effort to keep the defunct MediaTomb project alive---on my Linux server and added some album directories. Each album directory contains track (.flac), coverart (.jpg), and playlist (.m3u) files.
From my mobile apps and from moOde I can drill down to either album directories or playlist directories. From either branch I can play a track or an album, right now the sublime Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem. [full disclosure: I'm having trouble with the coverart but probably I should RTFM.]
From my perspective, this puts your issue squarely on the shoulders of the Plex Media Server.
