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

I did not say "that folder structure is only important if using external images".

But you always try to restate what I actually say. So be it.

The OP can decide for himself what's meaningless based on his experiences. Winamp will read ID3v2.4, but it writes ID3v1.1 and 2.3.

you know, you're a funny guy. on reflection, I guess I'm just missing the joke of your posts.

so... that being the case, since he's using winamp, no rational person would advise him to use 2.4 tags.

right, you only strongly implied it.

yeah, what leaps I took! what broad license!

go on, explain what you really meant then? explain how it's wrong of me to say what you said is not accurate?

my point, which is correct, is that folder structure is important EVEN IF you embed art and EVEN IF you fully tag files, for lots of obvious reasons. that's what I was correcting about your post, that's what was not accurate in your post, b/c as even stevie wonder can see, you were saying the opposite. when you say its "very important if you use external files" and then go on to say "but it doesn't matter as much [if you embed]" then I can state that is not accurate, and u should appreciate the correction. the whole premise is wrong just on its face, as you revolve the whole decision as being based on art handling mostly, and tagging to some extent, and that simply is not true in either case, and I explained why.
