I can see how your genre oriented organization would be at odds with the playlist type. For me,in performance,I prefer to map out my songs according to whom I am playing to. I may have 30 songs of different tempos and genre in a predetermined list,but clearly in sight so I can change the order very quickly. If I were to take requests,however,I would also have genre specific folder.

The bottom line,for me, is to prepare ahead of time and have no search time in performance. We all work somewhat differently,but I know my clients fairly well,and can operate this way.
