I ripped all my CD's and feel somewhat similarly.  However, I think part of the answer is to get the genre stuff working for you.  Use only a fairly small subset of genre tags (think more like "mood" tags)

Have a look at a couple of decent tagging programs - easytag seems to be the best under linux, but there are better things available for windows (perhaps run under wine?)

The main thing then would be to have multiple root nodes in the listing tree, one for each type of sort order, eg "by genre", "by artist", etc.

Would this not work for you?
