I do the same.

D:\Music\Artist\Albums

Within each album folder are the tracks, log file from dbpoweramp, and the album cover.

I used to do genres by type of music. However, when I am first tagging, I haven't actually listened to the music, so I don't know the genre. Add to the fact that the changing tags later is a burden, it made me anxious every time I tag a new artist.

So now I just organize them by the artist's origin.
Rock (US)
Rock (UK)
Rock (EU)
Rock (Canada)
etc.

Although in hindsight, I should have broken US and UK into sub-regions.

Folders.

Music/Artist/Albums.

I only buy and own albums so it suits.

The reason I keep the FLACs I rip in a separate folder isn't because I don't own the other music; there's plenty of music that isn't distributed in a lossless format. I rip my Flacs to "Flac Music", then use FlacSquisher to encode them to Oggs for use in my Rockbox'd Sansa. I keep these files in my "Ogg Music" folder.

In addition to those, I also have another folder labeled simply "Music". Firstly, a bunch of my CDs were stolen a few years back, so this is where I keep my old MP3 rips of albums that I haven't been able to replace yet (I ripped them even before I discovered LAME, let alone lossless formats ). Also, this is where I keep any lossy music I acquire, such as the freely-available Reserve Tank album by OverClocked ReMix.

I use MediaMonkey for my library software. It will (re-)organize by anything in the tags: genre, album, year, etc. It will ignore ‘the’ so The Beatles falls between Aphex and Cocteau for sorting. It will also do mass retagging. I used to have a genre called International for songs that didn’t fit anywhere else. Then I told it International = World. Done. Still not perfect, but for me genres are a work in progress.
.
Does MediaMonkey support mass-retagging and re-naming of files to make the artist "last name, first name" and move articles to the end (Beatles, The)? I have a file-based MP3 player right now so that was the only way to do it, but I want the tags sorted out as well for an eventual upgrade.
