hhannah:
The initial for the artist is a good idea, it has to work great. What about compilations, I guess that like in iTunes, you would have a folder dedicated to that. Regarding the album year in that case, I guess you could, depending on the number of compilations from a certain compilation series (like Buddha Bar, Now thats what i call music, etc.) and how you would like to browse them, do:

a) ...C/Compilations/(album year) album title/...
b) ...C/Compilations/Compilation series name/(album year) album title/...
c) ...C/Compilations/Compilation series initial/Compilation series name/(album year) album title/...

mnhnhyouh:
I have a folder called Various. It only has about 20 albums in it, so browsing isnt too hard. I have another, about the same size, for soundtracks of movies. I guess if you had more than that it might be harder to work with. But your system should work.

GodEater:
Not that is matters really, but my Various Artists folder contains nearly half my music collection =/

I can't really think of a decent way of organising it either.

hhannah:
Regarding 1)... OK drag & drop is simple and works great, but what about syncing, transfering efficiently only new/changed stuff?

bascule:
You could try this:

Not that it's much use to you, but I have a modified version of the above app (really a Windows batch file) that I'm happily using regularly and it works a treat, even dealing with my own particular podcast listening/syncing habits. I've never had time to put it on the Wiki, though :(
