Like many here, the organization system that I use is ~/artist/album/00 - title.flac. As far as finding particular songs, I'm just extremely familiar with all of my music (>1000 CDs) and usually just know what artist a song is by and what album it is on (and probably what year it was released, who produced it, and the name of the guest didgeridoo player on tracks 3 and 7). If I don't know, it's usually a fun exercise to track it down.
Not for the vast majority of users that fill their iPods with MP3 and AAC files. GIGO.

Various sysadmins running servers on which I've needed email accounts have posited such "solutions". "Leave messages on server" with POP is NOT the same as IMAP. Using IMAP, if I receive 100 messages today on my laptop and delete 80, and then use my desktop tomorrow, having received 50 new messages in the interim, I'll only see the 20 "old" messages that are remaining and the 50 "new" messages, and only the latter set will be marked as "unread". Furthermore, if I replied to 10 of those and forwarded 2, I'll see those statuses marked on my desktop. With the POP kludge, I'll just get all 70 messages and all will be marked as "unread" because that's the first time that installation is seeing them. It's up to me to remember where I last left off and which messages to which I have already replied. This is assuming I remembered to really delete the 80 deleted items ("empty trash" or whatever) on the laptop the day before. If not, I'll get all 150 messages, all marked as unread. This is to say nothing of the fact that with the POP "solution" sent messages remain on the client, leaving me with no good way to review all messages I've previously sent.
I find the "leave messages on server" "solution" to be so irritating that I now just have messages on such servers forwarded to an account on my own IMAP server.
I'm in the same situation. Ogg was/is fine for computer and SqueezeBox play. I've used it for years and I still play what I have in that way. It's the non-computer bound devices that are the problem for me. An earlier reply to your post noted the iRiver offerings that play Ogg (which I've considered), and there are many others as well. Unfortunately, I've not yet found a portable player (let alone an in-dash car player) that meets all of my other (admittedly strict) requirements. I've sent many emails over the last couple years to various companies urging them to support the format (or one of my other requirements) in the hope that others were as well, to no avail.
So I've given up, but just for the moment. I'm in the process of re-ripping my collection as both low quality/filesize MP3 (for the car/portable) and FLAC. If a player comes along in the future that supports what I want, allowing me to encode even lower filesize (but equal quality) OGGs, I'll just write a script to do so using all my FLACs as a source.
Do you have a source for this? Beyond being curious, this thread is now so confusing that I honestly don't know which side you are defending and think that reading source material may aid my understanding.
In my experience this does usually work, but it does depend on both the player and how stringently the DVD was authored. I have had some DVDs that are extremely locked down where I cannot skip past certain things no matter what buttons I push (on my Panasonic DVD-R30). Even when one of the buttons does work (menu, next chapter, FF (4 times to get it to 16x and then still some waiting), title), it's still irritating to have to have tried all those combinations just to skip some stupid screen or advertisement. Thankfully, many cheap DVD players (like the jWin something or other I have upstairs) generally ignore the Prohibited User Options on the disc.
Similarly, I've left at 5am in St. Paul, MN and made it home to Coeur d'Alene, ID (just East of Spokane, WA) by 9pm. Gained 2 hours, so just a quick 18 hour jaunt, including 3 stops for gas. And there are even highway patrolmen to avoid in ID, MT, ND, and MN (the worst of the four).
Last year, I thought that Gmail itself was an April Fools joke, in addition to whatever real joke they had going. Similarly, two years ago I thought Mayor Daley carving big Xs into Miegs Field was a joke, but sadly it turned out to be real.
This reminds me of something I came upon a number of years ago. I was at a cabin party and talking to a friend of a friend of a friend (let's call her Jane, I don't know her real name) about music and she played a CD that one of her friends had done. Let's call him John (again, I don't know his real name). Most of the twelve or so tracks sounded like low grade early PC or Amiga MODs, and could well have been written by John. The last track, however, blew the rest away. It sounded like a good quality Scream Tracker 3 module. Indeed, it was; it was _Suburbia / High Hopes_ by basehead (under some other title that I don't recall). Sounding so much better than the rest of the disc, it clearly didn't belong and, if the other tracks were written by John, it was clear that he didn't have the talent to write the last track. It angered me to see such blatant infringement. I tried explaining this to Jane, but she would have none of it; she still claimed and believed that her friend had written all of the tracks.
The quote from which that was paraphrased actually originated with the 1984 film version of _Dune_ by David Lynch. http://www.faqs.org/faqs/sf/dune-faq/part1/ - "4.10 What is the Mentat Mantra". AFAIK, Frank Herbert had nothing to do with it.
It does not "beg the question". You've fallen into the modern habit of substituting "begging the question" for "raises the question". Although the practice is popular, it is still wrong. To "beg the question" has a specific meaning which rarely, if ever, has anything to do with statements in the interrogative form.

Indeed. I stopped reading the summary as soon as I hit that word.
In addition to that, he was *years* ahead of his time when he said, "Print is dead."

Hey now, I still handcode in vi.
Gillian: You're not from the military are you? Trying to teach whales to retrieve torpedoes or some dipshit stuff like that?
Kirk: No, ma'am. No dipshit.

There's also a version that runs without Greasemonkey if you don't want to install the latter.

But that does beg the question, what are we going to do with all those bodies?
When I read the headline, that's exactly what I thought was going on, even though it didn't make any sense.

Assuming they have a prom (or something similar), maybe the Dutch will incorporate this into their new cradle-to-grave profiling system.

It's times like these that I think I should opt back in to moderate. Excellent post.

You may have missed the stairs/puke reference from Ghostbusters.
If I don't remember an event/task then it wasn't really important.

You mean like the porn industry does?

No no no! It begs the question. Get with the modern vernacular.
