Similar conclusions here!
My system of gathering (refined over years but certainly not final or perfect, even for me<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;)) involves hopefully sensible categories organized under the general umbrella "artifacts" (I hate calling every file on my computer a "document").
Within "audible" is "musical," then some genres (with the catch-all "other" included here as in most of my directories; I like directories each to contain either all directories or all non-directory files), then artist name, then album or single name.
so, for instance, I might have<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...
Within a particular album's directory, I'll have the songs listed with a leading track number, so the first song will start with 01, then song 02, 03, etc.
A strange peeve: unless I want to hear *only* a single given song, then I want to hear the tracks of an album -- even if not every song in the list -- in the order that the album put them in. Some more than others, but most of my favorite albums have a certain feel or mood that comes in part from the order in which the tracks have been arranged.
