    My problem is folder structure. I have everything in an absolute mess! I’ve been collecting mp3s since AOL no joke.

      Unfortunately I don’t know of any easy way to do that. Mine is all meticulously structured by hand like c:/music/artist/(year)album/01-trackname but then I mostly have full albums these days and not a lot of individual tracks.

      It’s also useful to use a metadata editor to remove all the “x artist featuring y” because media players will often read these as separate artists, which can get very messy very fast. Personally I just remove the “featuring” part entirely but if you must have it at least include it in the track title instead of the artist.
