TUAW Resolutio : Organize iTunes

I had been living near my iPod's 30GB threshold for many months. So I recently resolved to take a few days and get my iTunes library into better working order. Here are the ste I personally took to organize iTunes. Some of these are pretty extreme and may not be universally a ealing but you might find an idea or two among them that you might want to a ly to your own music collectio .

Nothing lives in the iTunes music folder. I decided I didn't like living with iTunes' default library management. I switched off "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" in Advanced preferences. Yes, new purchases go into that folder, but I treat it more like a sorting and holding area, not as a final destination. Now I sort all my media using my personal folder management. I'm far ha ier with the results.
