Apparently the Mac version is nowhere near as evil. I was just saying this morning how stupid it was that when I plugged an iPod into it so that I could take files off, it would check it, update the iPod and then happily eject it so that my file copying broke in the middle.
Thankfully there are ways around having to use it, but they don't seem terribly confident that they'll work with all models and I've been too scared to try so far.
it appears the answer to my prayers was on my computer all the time WMP11 is actually quite good, it does what i want ( http://makeawish.dk/misc/stuff/wmp11.png ) and it makes organizing stuff easy. For example, if i have a whole album, but the genres in each are different i can just drag the songs onto the ones with the right genre and all of those with the wrong genre labels are labelled correctly. This also applies for other stuff, so now i'm quite happy with WMP...who would have thought WMP was useful for anything
the playback in WMP isn't as good as in Winamp though, WMP seems to adjust the volume several times throughout a song which is extremely annoying.
I store them on a removable harddrive.
Each artist has their own folder
Each album has their own subfolder in the artist's folder
any songs by the artist that i don't have the full album for is stored in the artist's root directory.
Enque all in winamp playlist -> sort by path and filename, save playlist.
Done.
My signature is never too big!!!

My Music > Artists > all files that belong to an artist are there. And game music has its all own folder with some game subfolders.
If I need any more organizing, I let Foobar2000 do it.
Joe - that's what iTunes does, though automatically (drag folder(s) into iTunes). IF you have that option set, which I think it asks when you instal it.
Got mine on an external Fat32 HDD too so both Windows and OSX on my iMac can see it and my Powerbook. Lots of cables tucked away for that

That must mean you're slow and laggy and suck.
