What's a right mind? I've never heard of such a thing! _budump bump, chsss...
No, but seriously folks. It's not like using genre creates some sort of chaotic hail storm of confusion.
It's really a very relaxed and enjoyable environment.
I don't know if I would say "most" of the time the online stuff is wrong, although
I tend to find it a bit too simplified for my organizational tastes. When I listen to music I try not to
think in terms of genre or era. I like to think of it as different sounds brought together to make art.
But, it's nice to have a way to organize things and genre works just fine.
I'm guessing it's probably easier for most people to lead off with the artist than to remember what genre everything
is associated with, but it works great for me.

then you can easily re-rip a given CD into the physical storage location.
Leading off with with genre isn't any more difficult. Even if you use combined elements like myself, ripping to destination
is easier than tagging based on path with combined elements, as discussed above. You can just use "\<Genre> <Album Artist>\"
Besides, many people rip to a staging area first.
