I think creating a view scheme can be difficult, and I'd love for it to be simpler... I'm wondering how much people even use it.

Use them ALOT for all different types of things.

Have seperate ones for:

Full albums by one artist
Compilations
Soundtracks
Ring Tones (for my mobile)
Films
Dance Video's (competitions)
Music Video's
Sorting my music
Photo's
Photo's by people

to name my most common ones.
If they went it'd be MC's biggest power lost in an instant.

Right now I have 25 view schemes. I would have more, but I haven't finished rebuilding all of them that were lost in the upgrade from v9.0 to v9.1/10. Also, there are a couple of bugs that prevent some of the schemes that worked in v9.0 from working in v10.

I just counted 71 view schemes. 14 of these are actually view scheme groups - this helps keep the tree uncluttered.  Some are nested a couple of levels down e.g.

Albums
           By artist
           Compilations
           Favourite albums
           New albums
                              Last 3 months
                              Last 3 weeks
                              Today
           Now! That's what I call music albums
           Rock albums
                               Metal / Hard Rock
                               Soft Rock

21 view schemes are specially set up for tagging tasks.

In addition to this I have 51 smartlists.  It sounds like a lot but, again, these are all grouped neatly using playlist groups.

As you can imagine I am very careful to back up my library!
