Best way to organise mp3s?

[LeeD]

Firstly, please forgive me if I've posted in the wrong section!

Could anybody recommend a better way for me to organise my music as it's starting to get a little messy?!

This is the current file structure I have....

+ My Music
	+ 70's, 80's

	+ Club & Euro

	+ Drum & Bass / Garage

	+ Hard Dance & Trance

	+ Hard House

	+ Hardcore
		+ Record Label

	+ Hip-Hop & R&B
		+ 1980's

		+ 1990's

		+ 2000

		+ 2001

		+ 2002

		+ 2003

		+ 2004

		+ 2005

		+ 2006

	+ House & Electro

	+ Indie, Rock & Alternative

	+ Old Skool Dance

	+ Pop
		+ 1990's

		+ 2000

		+ 2001

		+ 2002

		+ 2003

		+ 2004

		+ 2005

		+ 2006

	+ Scouse House

	+ Trance

All of my music is fully tagged and named in the artist-title.mp3 or artist-album-trackno.-title.mp3 format, however this structure is starting to get difficult as my mp3 collection has grown to 7000+ songs

How does everybody else organise theirs?!

English isn't my native idiom.

I have about 14.000 songs. Most of all are stored in CDs; the song structure I used is:

artist - (rel date - Album title) -=- #trk - track itle

On HD:

Classics -

Jazz -

Mpb (Brazilan Pop Music)

PopRock

Inside the folders the structure is organized by Artist Name, and the songs are automatically ordered by the song structure.

Some people have given up on this, and just let a program like iTunes do it for them.

Otherwise, I like Genre -> Artist -> Album -> Song 1, Song 2, etc.

I rename them all to Album_Artist_Title.mp3 and put them in the same directory.

F:\Artist\Album\## - Title.mp3

## = Track Number

That's the format of all of my music when I store it to my hard drive. All my playing of the music is done from Winamp's Media Library though.

F:\Artist\CD Title - Artist\Song Title - Artist.mp3
