Need plan on how to arrange mp3 files on Android cell
I have 3000 mp3 files. They are on my desktop and duplicated on my HTC Rezound android phone. I show a GENERALIZED plan for what I wish to have in the file included. If I want to play all songs by a particular artist I want to go to that folder and play any of the songs and if I do not specifically select one in ANOTHER folder I want all the songs to be from the first folder. As I have it now, I have folders for every artist I have. If I choose one song it will play correctly. However, the next song will be random and NOT from the same folder. I am using the paid version of Poweramp. I am willing to manipulate the songs in windows if need be. I think that I MIGHT have to create a playlist for every artist. I do not use playlists now, so, would have to be advised on how to do that. It seems simple, but I cannot figure it out.

I'm sorry, but I did not finish my thoughts and answer your question. I use Poweramp. The paid version. It would be most awesome if there were SOME program that would work in unison with a windows desktop and an Android phone. My goal is to have my music stored and kept in sync with each other similar to the way Evernote does with my information. I don't mind manually doing updates as information changes. I don't expect it to work as seamlessly as Evernote, but you get the idea. Thanks again for your expertise and ideas. Let me know if anything else pops into your mind.
Hi thanks, glad I could help.
As I see it the problem is creating a super playlist that contains all your 1000's of files sorted into groups.
How I understand it it is only possible to make one full playlist of 1000's of mp3 files correctly sorted by metadata etc
But here's a thought,
Poweramp looking at the features it supports>> support for m3u, m3u8, pls, wpl playlists

"m3u" and "m3u8" files are the basis for the HTTP Live Streaming format
From Wiki
M3U is a computer file format that stores multimedia playlists.
It is supported by many applications, including media players such as Windows Media Player, iTunes, Winamp, Audacious, foobar2000, Totem, JuK and VLC media player on Windows PC's and Astro Player, N7Player, Cubed on Android OS devices. M3U's can also point a media player to an online streaming audio source.

In order to have all my music in one place especially for long distance trips I bought this little FM mp3 player put all all my tracks on an USB stick which plug in to this mp3 player which in turn plugs into the radio tuned to FM on that channel.
Has a remote control.
They come in many types an colours and very cheap can have your windows phone or mobile phone connected to it so you can play it in your car
Have a look, this one as an example
is different from mine only in the shape but has the same functions
