Organizing music

How do you guys organize your music on your computer? Is there a program that will let you manually rename mp3s and change the ID3 tag to reflect the filename for you?

Any help would be appreciated

I rename my files/ID3s as I download them and then organize them in alphabetized folders.

Word!

I rename every file once i have downloaded them with this format:

Artist (feat. X) - Song Title (XYZ Mix).mp3

Then i put my files into different folders according to Genre.....

I have the following folders for music/sound files:
Dance
Live DJ Sets
Rap
RnB
Rock
Top 40 - Pop
TV Theme Songs & Funny Stuff

Amen to that. I cant be arsed to read all that crap like release group initials and what number the song is on the vinyl etc. And all those underscores are annoying. I rename to

Artist - Track (Remix)

or

Artist - Event, Location (Date) (Part)

Then just whack 'em all in a folder called music, hehe.
