I have an interesting system. I don't organize. I have a quasi-digital memory, so I always remember what songs (and bpm range) are on what cd's. I carry around 200-300 cd's with me to DJ and I just stick them in where there's room. This is fun for me to browse this way. I don't DJ off of compilation...

I've used nero on other setups in the past and, like most said, was happy with the options it provided.

P.S. Greg - buy me a drink in Houston and I'll crowbar Roob in the shins for you - we'll split his cd's.
