I can see how organization by genre is useful, but I would definetly do that in the media library/player setting up filters for tags and stuff. I would not do it by folders. Alphabetical makes more sense there. It should be possible for someone who comes over and wants to copy some music to find out just where the files they're looking for are located in your system I think.

I have run into a major obstacle, actually .. The damn filters which I don't know how to write!
I have Columns UI, but it only has genre, artist and album filters. I'd like a filter for artist first letters too, like W gives you Ween, Willie Nelson and so on. :/
edit :
The reason I need better filters/query functions is really because if I have a column on the left hand showing artists, it becomes rather big. For example I have 243 artists starting with just the letter S. For that reason, it makes sense to have a way you can click the letter S, then get those 243 artists in the next column so .. First Letter / Artist / Albums would be good.
I have to say, though, so far Winamp seems way easier and so far more practical for large libraries. In the screenshots I've seen, I've yet to see anything quite as handy as Winamps smart filters which I use a lot (f.ex to only see music only from films, from musicals, specific decades, genres, whatever). It's the other stuff which seems cooler.
