Why not tags? Lots of reasons. Because its a PIA for one.
Why, I can tag an album using the above prog in about 10 seconds

Another is that is doesn't work well for classical, opera, or multi artist, composer tracks.
It works perfectly well, you can even use the ID tag to make the file name if you alter your own string value that it uses.

Most of the people I know with iPods don't tag their stuff properly and simply use it on shuffle or only play the albums they can actually find.
I don't know many people with ipods but I definitely find that with most peoples organisational skills of their music on their computer, most seem to have no idea how to organise well! But I think it's just one of those things that you need to do once to tidy it up, and then it's just a case of doing it properly when you add more.

But its a PIA when you've a large library. Mines at 50GB and thats not even all my CD's. I'd say only about half of it is tagged correctly and I've been trying to clean it up for months.
When I was at uni I had a friend with a collection of about the same size as that, and using the above program (I used LOTS in the process of finding one that was any good), he managed to do the whole lot in less than a night.
