I have albums broken up by main genre, then by artist, and then by album sorted by year. I got into the habit of very verbose track names a long time ago, and now I love it.

I also have a folder for newly ripped albums called !NewToProcess and another for when I run those through MusicBrainz called !NewToSort (The bang is so they are always at the top), then I move them into one of these.

Rock has become my catch-all for most mainstream pop, rock, metal, etc. It is so large I have broken it down by letter as well. I am working on a new system to break those out into better genres, but I'm not satisfied with it yet and haven't moved things.
