but for 600 albuns dragging and dropping them around in an explorer type interface is not the best way. I was just wondering if anybody had come up with anu other means of arranging playlists.

If it's really that hosed, I'd just run a builder image on the empeg's hard drive to bring it down to bare metal, and start over again. Preferably after organizing my PC's hard disk the way I want it, first.

I still don't understand how your playlists got hosed unless you're having disk trouble. You said you were only adding one album. The other playlist files should not have been messed up, even if that one did get messed up.
