Over a few hundred tracks, you'll need *some* management software if

My music folder is pretty well managed manually. The first layer is the
artist, after that an album name (or misc), followed by the music itself.


Used to do that. A labour of love with many compilations with all tracks
not from the same artist. For me, easier to throw all into iTunes and
let that sort it all out, read tags, identify genres, attach pretty
album artwork and build 'Genius' play lists ...

.... & later ...

and inform Apple which tracks are 'missing' from my collection, which
TV shows and films have been added from 'elsewhere', what religious,
sexual and political persuasion I have (for later subliminal
'adjustment'), the depth of my pocket buying tracks and iPod
accessories, and the hours, minutes and seconds I have left on planet earth.

Oh hang on, there's a knock on the door ....
