How do you have your rockbox music library set up / organized?

Here how I do it.

Music
         A-F
            Artist
                Year-Album
                       Track#-Title
         G-M
              Artist
                Year-Album
                       Track#-Title
          N-S
              Artist
                Year-Album
                       Track#-Title
          T-Z
              Artist
                Year-Album
                       Track#-Title

I put compilations into a "Various" Folder

Audiobook\Name of Book.mp3
Radio Show\Date-Subject (txt file matching name explaining whom is speaking and other info)

I never use Genre with music as that labeling is pretty vague when I get a Heavy Metal album with a popish tune in the middle or an Adult Contemporary like ballad.

I agree.  I think genre should be a per track attribute.

cool_walking_:
Also, I think most music comes under multiple genres.  Classifications like "doom/drone/death/avant-garde/post-rock/psychedelic" aren't uncommon.

Okay maybe they are.. I think I threw too many in there... how about "doom drone sludge psychedelic post-rock"?

Sherv:
I have a similar system to your older system of organization:

Root directory has:

-= Playlists =-
MP3s
Podcasts
Uploads (a vestigial name from when I used to run an FTP server, now it just houses the recent rips I've made)

In MP3s I have the following folders:

Anime & Movie soundtracks
Bootlegs & Demos
Choral & Classical
Electronic
Ethnic
Fusion
Hardcore, Heavy Metal, & Industrial
Humor, Interviews & Miscellaneous
Indie
Jazz
Nostalgia
Punk Rock & Ska
Rap & Hip-Hop
Rock, Alternative, & Pop
Video Game

I don't use the Genre tag but I may start soon...I find that most music fits under these folders, with "Fusion" being a total cop out :P

From metal rock to indie rock. And so on, but than i find some songs that are completely in between 2 genre so this system isn't working out.
So instead I have this new set up with 4 Folders (followed by subfolders)
-Alpha (Folders A-Z each artist alphabetized going in their correct folder)
-NOW (new songs i want to listen to that I will sort when it gets old)
-Soundtrack (soundtrack folder)
-Compilations (a folder for artist where I only have a few songs and too little to put in my alpha folder)



What's your set up?

That pretty much describes Sunn O))) to me!
But yea genres are silly for the most part. I try to avoid using them and put in the country of origin and the year instead.
