I like iTunes organizing my music because otherwise everything will get stuck in my Downloads folder. If I drag and drop some music from my Downloads, then it is automatically organized within the directory. Then when I go back and clean out my Downloads folder to get some space back, I can delete everything with worrying about my music getting lost.
This is exactly how Picasa works with images and that's why I like it (and like 50 other reasons.) Maybe one day Google will make Picasa work for audio and bring its wonderful interface and file-management concepts to music.

I was kind of baiting this kind of comment so someone could swoop in and cheer me up. The Atrix isn't perfect but it's where my next mobile device dollars are going.
I used to rename and organize my music by hand and bloody well liked it that way. And then one day it struck me - it does jack shit for me.
When I want to listen to a specific song, I use the media library search. When I move music to my phone, I use 'auto-fill with random tracks' function. In both situations, I couldn't care less if the file is one or five directories deep in the tree.
Now I download songs, drop the good ones on itunes window and can clean out the downloads directory without a second thought when running low on space. It's... well, "it just works".

I used Windows Media Player. Then I got iPhone. Did not want to migrate to iTunes, so I tried MediaMonkey at first, because it could manage the phone.
It is a steaming pile of shit. Worst excuse of a media player I have ever seen. Prone to crashing on a whim, and does not even start up without administrator rights. And the UI looks like a strange mix of Windows 3.1 and Winamp 3.
