I have 14 "Genre Folders" in my MP3s folder.
A rap folder, rock folder, videogame music folder, funny mp3s, anime music,etc...
These folders include sub folders.
For example, in my anime music folder, I have a Neon Genesis Evangelion folder, and instead of sorting the songs by album, I have every song for the series all in one folder.
Instead of the file looking like "Neon Gensis Evangelion- 01.- Rei 1
I make it look like this "NGE-Rei 1"
So, I organize my crap like that.
I could go on and on, but it'll take a while to explain how I organize all my mp3s....I wouldnt want to disclose that kind of info here anyway....
Basically, I make it so organized, that the folders are easy to navigate through.
C:\Music\"Artist Name"\"Album Name"\"MP3's
Thats the easiest way i have found to organize my music.
I've got two Music folders (due to hard drive size constraints). The first (main) folder is 77.8GB.
It's organised thus:
Music\0-M\Artist - Album Name and \N-Z\Artist - Album Name
The second folder is smaller (25GB) and is organised in exactly the same was as above
On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think "Ok, this is the limit".
As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

Using Orange for teh database, which dont get updated too often,
I dont DL so much music anymore, got pretty much what i need.
I got several HD's in 3 PC's full of stuff, not so well organized.
My shares are a little mess also, but im trying to keep them
as teh norm is in SS.
Im lazy and maybe someday i buy teh dvd-burner and
then maybe organise teh stuff better.
Maybe Babe.

I just have iTunes set to automatically organize my music. The folders are separated by artist and then album.

BT Rep: +8
I have all my music on a 1TB HD. I have folders for about 70 categories, then I have subcategories in some folders (not by genre, but by label for instance). I have two main folders: burned data and unburned. This way I always have my newer downloads in a separate folder.
I name my album folders all in the same manner: "Artist - year - Album", so I can quickly scan my music database for the album I want. VA (Various Artists, compilations) albums are named VA - Release name (year). It takes a bit of time to do it this way, but now I have a well organized collection, which is really necessary if you have a lot of music.
I rarely use any media library software, because I find my system handier to browse. No problem with 'conflicting' ID3 tags, eg. albums from one artist spread over a bunch of tags (AC/DC, AC-DC, ACDC, AC DC, ...) or various artists compilation albums in the albums list.
My music is under MP3 & Soundtracks folder. Of course every album/artist is under new folder.
