Does anyone find it strange that I create a new playlist for every CD I rip?
A little. You must have hundreds of playlists! 
I do the same. One play list per album which resides in subfolders I created for each composer. This makes it very easy then to browse your music per artist and just see the albums of that artist.
Assuming you are using Itunes, this is easy to do if you use the "Column Browser" view.
But with a large collection like mine, playlists become important to keep a tight overview of your collection and easily get to what you want. Plus it looks really cool when you click on a little folder named say "Goldsmith, Jerry" and bam the front covers of 228 albums of him show up on your main window!
Yeah, it's pretty cool to see that I have over 2 days of music by Miklós Rózsa, and this doesn't include the stuff I haven't listened to yet (recent releases), or the FSM sets.
It is also cool to browse everything by the year it was composed. I can easily compare tracks (see El Cid from the Rózsa, Sedares, or Tadlow albums). It is a lot of fun, but one can easily get carried away with organizing things and with creating playlists. (Btw, is there a playlist thread here?) I'm halfway through with rating things. It has become somewhat of an obsession. Everything should be rated, have the correct year, composer, etc. 
I've been using Itunes since 2007 (or maybe it was earlier), but I still cherish the cd. There's just something about physical ownership. Although digital files are convenient, to me, they will never replace the cd. Just look at it, my precious cabinet of Rózsa ...

Re: Does anyone find it strange that I create a new playlist for every CD I rip?
Since I have 3,150 albums in my iTunes (partials and completes), I can't imagine creating a playlist for each of them. Almost as soon as I, ah, "rip" a CD, I usually take favorite cues and add them to appropriate playlists. Let's say it's a Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack. I can always access it sequentially under Albums, but I may take a few cues and add them to my Jerry Goldsmith playlist of favorite Jerry Goldsmith music. And I may add some to my various playlists of favorite soundtracks. At one point I used to have a playlist of "Recently Added Soundtracks," but it got too big, as did my principal soundtracks playlist. We all should do it the way it works best for us, but I still can't imagine creating a playlist for every CD I add to my iTunes.

I've never created a play list (not sure I know how), I think of music in terms of albums, always have done. I have created some albums by just changing the album title on a lot of tracks, like my Main Titles album, that's got about fifty tracks on, all main titles. I've never bought anything from iTunes, just downloaded iTunes, rip my CD's & plug in my ipod to update it. I wonder if Lukas is still busy ripping his collection. There used to be a company who would do it for you & keep the CD's as payment (or something like that), but that's going back quite a few years. A guy I worked with did that in 2000, he gave them all his CD's & got back a hard disc or something, I wonder it it's all still working?

Someone's tagging is ridiculous up there. Why do you need the whole title of the movie in the "Song" field, too?

Anything you purchase in iTunes, any song you have in iTunes at all, you can right-click it on a PC and "Show In Windows Explorer." Takes you right to the song's location on your hard drive. It's also available in the "Summary" tab when you right-click and "Get Info" for the song.

Just a preference... I find it easier when working with cd-r's, playlists, and compilation albums. Also, when using Itunes, I, normally use a smaller-sized window, so it's just easier for me to have the album name in the song title. I can't remember the exact reason I started doing - it may have been related to an old Ipod and how things are based on songs... Anyway, I find it convenient... though it is a little redundant.
Perhaps you can tell me where it might be.
You can also try to find it, by right clicking on the song and then clicking on the "get info" tab. It then shows you where the file is on the computer.
