Well what I was really hoping for was a solution to my question, but I guess that such basic things are missing in iTunes?
Weltall, I should make this clear. If it's JUST a matter of my entire database, on my one computer, all being organized, I might be fine with leaving iTunes to manage it, however it's more complex than that. External devices, unless they are an iPod, can't be synced. There's no apparent way to set it up even. I'm not buying an iPod just to use iTunes with it, so I'm at an impasse with this program. I'm literally forced to use something outside the program just to move my music back and forth between my PC and my PSP. That's silly. Media Go, Sony's own attempt at competing with iTunes, is one way I can sync stuff. However, that's a bit much. In the end, Media Player actually does it better, and that's a shame because it's not like Media Player is all that good. However, it detects any portable device I hook up to it, I can set up syncing, and I can browse by folders as well as playlists. I'm not asking for the moon here Apple, just some danged basic file management features.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
