> an app which organises your music for you

How do you figure? Itunes is completely unaware of most qualities of music, in fact nearly everything unattested in metadata.

I don't know how you manage your music, but when I use iTunes I just drop it on the icon and it gets filed away (organised) for me.

This is optional, there's a "let iTunes manage my music for me" checkbox somewhere.

Ahh I see what you’re saying and I don’t particularly care where the audio is sourced from, so long as I can’t accidentally delete it. The file system is not designed for many dimensional indexing, it just indexes by path. You need software that query to make sense of thousands of files.
