The music I have is on my computer sometimes as separate tracks from an album in a large folder along with other tracks, and sometimes within a folder tagged with the name of the artist. These folders were created with windows explorer. In addition Limewire has build a library with what I am assuming is albums which really contain pointers to tracks rather than existing as a physical seperate folder.

I can make a compilation cd with software I have. My question is if I copy all this music to an IPOD (or a disk based storage system for a hi-fi system) how do I select and play it? DO I NEED TO MOVE THE TRACKS TO A FILE FOLDER ORGANIZED AS I WANT IT? i.e. by artist, album etc.
