> For me a directory tree with well-named directories and files is still the least-worst solution and also has been, over time, the most dependable one. This. My Music is very meticulously organized on the file-system level. Every single folder (sans Soundtracks and Videogame music) is organized like so: My Music -> Artist -> Year - Name -> Track # - Title e.g. My Music -> Black Sabbath -> 1971 - Paranoid -> 01 - War Pigs.mp3 That's it. That's all I need. I've had it this way since 1998, and it still works, across myriad computers, file systems, and operating systems. One of the reasons I stayed with Winamp so long is that I could simply right-click on a folder and click "Play in Winamp", and I was all set. All of these other apps that try to organize my music for me inevitably fail, because the tags are rarely complete or consistent. Trying to backup all my music to Google Play Music has shown that, time and time again. These days I'm happy that I was finally able to get that functionality back with Audacious.
