If you want to organise your music how you want, why were you using iTunes in the first place - an app which organises your music for you? Surely it was already not suitable for your particular workflow and never aimed or claimed to be?

How do you figure? Itunes is completely unaware of most qualities of music, in fact nearly everything unattested in metadata.

I don't know how you manage your music, but when I use iTunes I just drop it on the icon and it gets filed away (organised) for me.

This is optional, there's a "let iTunes manage my music for me" checkbox somewhere.

Ahh I see what you’re saying and I don’t particularly care where the audio is sourced from, so long as I can’t accidentally delete it. The file system is not designed for many dimensional indexing, it just indexes by path. You need software that query to make sense of thousands of files.

I think organization is done through playlists and metadata, not file locations. So my point stands.
