OMG I'm so glad I'm not the only person who wastes, I mean, spends quality time doing this!

My big thing is that when I rip music from, say, a greatest hits or some other type of CD, I like to edit the file properties to reflect the original release (album, year, etc.) of each song. And then I spend a bit of time googling around looking for the original album cover and pasting it into the album art. And I also usually save a copy of the pic just in case it reverts to something else so I can "fix" it again.

That's a good tip to know, I haven't even begun checking through my collection since I installed Win7. At first glance it looks okay but I'm sure I'll have to edit a few things.

I tried a couple of others while I was waiting, but I still like the way WMP organizes and looks. Probably just because I'm used to it, but there it is.

Same here. Way back when I had Win98/ME I had some third party freeware that I used to play and organize music, but during one upgrade or another I wanted to hear something before I'd reinstalled it and starting tinkering around in WMP. Once I got accustomed to it I liked it fine, and WTH, it's free and I know how it works.
