So, what is your best practice you use/observe and is any shortcuts you have developed for yourself? Rgs, Romy the Cat "I wish I could score everything for horns." - Richard Wagner.

While the usual arrangement is by period then composer you can also place shortcuts within a folder for cross-referencing, eg a folder 'Mozart Piono Concerto, Clara Haskil' can contain a shortcut to a 'Pianists' folder. I don't have many disks stored on a HDD and it's mostly for archive purposes. http://hifiblog.livejournal.com/
