As to playlist organisation, I initially went for an "Albums" section which had everything, and then moved favourite songs around to other groups: "Techno", "Eighties", etc. This was fine, but I ended up pretty much duplicating the Albums in the genre sections because they were all my favourites (I'd selected them beforehand).

Then I changed this slightly so each genre had an Albums section which contained the actual albums in order, and then made classifications (e.g. "Happy", "Sad", "Fast") and copied things into them for moods and other non-genre, non-artist-specific categories. I don't find myself wanting to mix songs from the main genre classifications, so I don't want to wade through all the albums of another genre to find one thing I like. Besides, searching and appending makes that sort of impromptu "hey, I want to hear..." decision easier.

But as I've had to give that empeg back to its owner I can't say this is based on any more than a couple of weeks' experience.

P.S. empeg: when's the Wendy-Filter coming out? Presumably there'll be some discreet, non-obvious keycode to activate it (e.g. four quick presses of CD-MD CH).
