As I've been putting more and more songs on my empeg, I'm quickly noticing the advantage of sorting everything alphabetically. Currently, I have three top level directories (Artists, Albums, and Genres). The Artists directory contains Artist Playlists, which then contain the Albums by that artist. The Albums playlist contains albums with multiple artists. The Genre playlist contains my compilation playlists, like 80s, Alternative, Comedy, etc.

Like I said, though, I plan on sorting everything by Alphabetical order, since it's a pain to skip down to an M artist. With the sorting into alphabetical directories, I'd have to skip at most 12 artists (to get to 'm' or 'n'), and then maybe a few inside the particular letter directory. But, it's a lot better than having to skip every artist between 'a' and 'm'.

However, I'll probably still stick with the same top-level structure.
