Music Organization - KComputer Zone

I spent all of yesterday cleaning and sorting out my iTunes library and getting my music backup routine in place... In the process i found that if you don't do that often you tend to get duplicates that are not listed. I also started my new non destructive sorting methods using the comment field instead of clobbering album field. When all was done I ended up with 2036 songs that uses 3.98gb (64kbps AAC).

Here is my playlist config i setup: (I included the configs of the stock ones too)
