Not only that, but we also have different ideas of how it should work
(if that's not how we already use it).

I think the idea to add tags would deal with a lot of what people are
asking for.
If you like music, video, and Tv to be separate things - then use
separate lists which only show items tagged as music, video, or TV.
If you like them together, then use a combined list. Tags would also
allow you to do a lot what you currently do with folders - plus allow
you to have multiple entries (so a westerns fan could have one list
with John Wayne films, and another for a specific subgenre or date
range (for example) which would include some of the same films.

Indeed. There's a lot I don't use, even more I don't know how to use
fully. But I certainly don't want to go back to anything I've used
before.
