Organize Music Libraries I

Since Windows 7 the System has Libraries for Pictures,Music etc. You can add many Locations to this Libraries. External Hard Disks also. If you select with the Explorer the Genre Viiew you will see the all your Genre. 

At Example here you have Books, Classical etc.

 

 If you click one of the Genre you will see Albums, If the Album has a Folder Picture it would look like this. 

You should not use to many Genre Types. A good  suggestion about Genre, you can see at  http://www.allmusic.com/genres To organize your Files more deeper use also Styles. 
With Styles you can Group (at Example) your Jazz Music moore specified. 

At Example : for Genre Jazz :  use Styles :  Oldtime, Bop , Cool etc.

Music/Jazz/Cool/Artist/Album

I like also to put the Year in Front of the Album

Music/Jazz/Cool/Miles Davis/(1950) Birth of the cool

The using of Styles makes sense if you have many CD's allready on your Disk or to specify Areas for the Artist.

For a Genre like Folk use the Countries where the Folkmusic commes from.

Music/Folk/Austria/Artist/Album

For Classical Music it may sense to organize Music with the Composer instead of the AlbumArtist.

Music/Classical/Mozart/Kleine Nachtmusik
