Needs tips for organsing a music library with the help of Winamp

What part of what I said about file storage schemes, as they related to artwork and manual searching, is not accurate?

As to ID3v2.4, I'm seeing more mp3s I download using it than less.

If you look for stuff manually, then a consistent logical storage scheme is helpful.

...is that folder structure is only important if using external images if you can otherwise tag your files; and that is not accurate, and I explained why above. you can reread it.

folder structure is important to smartviews, manual searches in winamp (not just windows explorer), and so on.

which is meaningless. if everything you downloaded was mp3pro, would that mean mp3pro is all that's out there?

winamp is not 2.4 compliant, and most apps aren't, and importantly windows does not recognize them at all. 2.4 has its uses in certain situations where the person using them has a well defined reason to do so, but that does not apply to the casual user seeking advice about how to organize their collection.
