Download is a where new files go, I have a different download directory for every filesharing program I have, as to limit potential problems with partial downloads, since I often use more than one.

Playlists is where I store text playlists.

Music is where music goes. There used to be non-electronica stuff in there, but its been all removed.

Vinylrips is where (suprise!) I keep copies of all of my records in mp3 format.

Edit: Oh yeah, and i have every directory divided into sub directories by artist name (original name, not remixer). I also have them all ID3 tagged, and have a consistant file naming scheme throughout Artist - (sometimes albumn) - (track number) - Title.mp3.

Did I mention I have too much time on my hands?

one folder, descending "Date Modified" order --> hardcore!

alright here it goes

Music
Rock: by artist (alphabeticly)
Rap: by artist (alphabeticly)
Trance:
Cds-> by artist (alphabeticly)
Live sets-> by artist (alphabeticly) , and by party/event
Singles-> by artist (alphabeticly)
Techno
Other

i only have cds in every genre except trance where i also have singles and livesets

there is about 50 gigs in my collection and it takes me about 10 seconds ( maybe less) to find the track i wanna hear

First by genre, then alphabetically in each folder. My new stuff sits in the main mp3 folder until filed away.

mp3
Breaks & Other Electronic
Classical & Opera
Dead Can Dance
Epic Trance (Dreamy, spacey stuff that's still dancible, such as Armin's Seven Cities mix)
Ethnic
Europop & House
Hard - Psy - Tech Trance
Incomplete mp3 (For incomplete rips or partial mp3s)
Madonna (She's her own genre )
Mixes & Albums (Livesets are by DJ or thrown in the main folder)
>Banco Be Gaia
>BT
->ESCM
>Compilations
>Dirty Vegas
>Marco V
>Oakenfold
>Paul Van Dyk
>Sasha
->Xpander EP
>Tiesto
->In My Memory
Non-Electronic
North Korea (don't ask)
Progressive - Acid - Tribal
Progressive Trance
Soft Trance & Ambient
Trance (By far the largest folder. Stuff between progressive and uplifting/epic)
Trash (A sort of 'filter' so I don't delete tracks on impulse)
Trip Hop
Uplifting Trance (different from 'Epic Trance' in that such tracks usually have clear, solo vocals or cheesy riffs)

What can I say, I'm a neatfreak.

I have one main MP3 folder on my desktop and then I sort all my MP3s into folders by the date on which I burned that set to CD. And then I have folders for certain artists too like all of Armin's stuff, Tiesto, Matt Darey, DuMonde, etc...
