W715 media player library update annoyance |

Hi, I have Sony Ericsson W715 Walkman phone and I try to find a way to play and view my mp3 files in media player as their folder structure is when I copied them to phone memory card - but have had no luck.
The problem is that most music I listen is in a mixed form - lots of folders (witch name i like to see and choose in the player) and each consist about 20 various songs. In player under "Music" menu are items like "Artists", "Albums", "Tracks"... but no Folders. I cannot find any folder that way as "Albums" menu shows album name in ID3 tag but my folder structure is different (in one folder songs ID3 has different album name). So I have like 500 artists, 200 albums, 1500 tracks and no way to find what i want - for example to play one folder contents continuously.
Only way I can think of right now seems to change all my mp3 ID3-tag album names same as my folder structure names but that choice is really bad because I don't want to lose original ID3 info and also modifying is really tedious when have to change few hundred folders of songs.
So am I missing something obvious or what should I do to enable that simple behavior described above?
One more thought - maybe in phone is some config file available where album names are stored and change all album names to folder names in there and not running "Update media" after that?

Put them in the podcast folder. I think that should work.

Putting music in prodcat folder did exactly what i needed 
tnx alot
I did think about playlists also, forgot to mention in my first post, but when i put all folders into one playlist then the structure is lost and making 200 playlists is a bit overkill, but thanx anyway for suggesting. |

You have a solution for changing the mp3 tags quickly. You can use winamp's free mp3 taging plugin. It searches for the tags online and automatically adds them to your mp3s. You can tag thousands of mp3s like that in no time. However it may make some misstakes, but it's better correcting several winamp mistakes instead of typing the tags for all songs. 
There are also other programs for auto taging mp3s besides winamp.

just use one playlist for one folder.
EDIT: okay wait, I didn't understand you have 200 folders

Copying to prodcast folder at first worked fine but when I put 8GB music there it was painfully slow to access and every time when opening that menu it starts refreshing all over again.
So I made playlist for almost every folder (found nice batch script here post #4, it works in Win XP and not W7) With that solution the menu open time is still slow but tolerable.
hihihans: not my mixes, I actually meant "various" not "mixed" music, little word misuse..
