I don't have the artist folders split up into separate alphabetical folders, but I don't really think that's nescessary yet. I'll leave that for some day that I'm feeling vulnerable. The root folder for all this is 'My Music' and I just let Media Player 11 populate it's database from there. I really like Media Player 11.
People featuring on other people's work end up in the song name so it doesn't play hell with MP11's sorting. Two things I haven't sorted out yet: Collaborations - Sunn0))) and Boris or Boris and Sunn0))) - and bands changing their names, I like to keep my Bill Callahan together with my Smog, though that's only really an issue with storing physical cds.

The forgetting the settings bit is because the number of folders that Windows can remember the settings for is limited, and so older settings get forgotten. You can increase the number, but I can't remember how - it's probably a setting that can be changed by Microsoft's "TweakUI PowerToy".

Okay well I have windows vista and there is no "tools" option at the top of the folders anymore (or at least not visibly, i could be missing something here though). I searched for "Folder Options" in my Windows search bar, and I found where you are talking about "Apply to All Folders", but it is not clickable because dumbass Windows doesn't know what folders I have open.
Is there a way to be in the folder and click on "tools->Folder options" and I'm just missing it, or does Vista make things that used to be easy very difficult?
EDIT: Nvm. Of course two seconds after I posted, I figured out where the damn Folder Options was within the folder. Thanks for the help, that seemed to work. Do you know if it will save all of them like this, or is it still going to forget after a few days and revert back?
scarred:
I'm another one of the iTunes kids... and frankly, I think it's a beautiful system. Plus, whenever I download anything, I don't copy the files into the iTunes Folder, I copy them directly into the player. iTunes creates its own copies of the files in its own folder, and then I discard the download (which just lands directly on my desktop in the first place).
Everything, of course, is backed up to my own 250GB external hard drive, and now that I'm living back home again (economy booo), my dad's terabyte drive.
WriterofAllWrongs:
I store the actual music in various folders on my computer, but most of it is a Folder called Music on my external hard drive. I obsessively organize my iTunes, though. It is actually really fun in a really pedantic and bureaucratic way!
pwhodges:
Windows should remember the default OK - it's what it sets the ones it forgets back to! Unless Vista has changed the rules; but they've been the same for ever.
