Something i liked about winamp 3 alot was a plugin called "explorer playlist". Basically it replaced the "right side" of the playlist window with a windows explorer like interface, i you then click on a folder you see the audio files in that folder in the left side of the palylist window. This is very nice if you already have pre-sorted all your audio files on the hard-drive, i for myself for example have my music sorted in subdirectories on my hd, ie. -hardrock-, -punk- etc.
Would something like this be possible for foobar ? The integrated audio library doesnt fully suit my needs because not all of my audio files have the correct id3 tags and thus it doesnt always show me correct information.

use masstagger!
for exemple:
clear playlist
add all files of your directory "punk"
highlight  all track
right click, masstagger, edit tags
add, set value, genre, enter "punk", run

now your files in punk directory are tagged as genre punk

open album list, setting, and add " %genre%| " in  the beginning of tree hierarchy and sorting order, for exemple:
tree:
[%genre%]|[%artist%]|[%album%]|[%title%]
sorting:
%genre%|%artist%|%album%|$num(%disc%,9)|$num(%tracknumber%,9)|%title%
