If you want to search both by artist and genre, that is the perfect reason to use the db function (altho I would recommend using Tag Database Tool (TDT))--that way, you don't need to "double up" on your songs. And the extra boot-up time is gotten used to (with 29 gb of music, 6100 songs in 350 folders, I have about 60 seconds to start up).

More folders lessens start-up time as opposed to simply having "loose tunes" in the root directory, or few folders with hige numbers of tunes in them.

If you're dead set against using the db, you could always file the music by genre as well. I just would avoid duplicating music--a waste of what might be precious space.
