You can construct a view which will let you browse any way you want.
 
E.g. Genre > Artists > Albums

Well, I have a rather large music collection and though its folder hierarchy is nicely organized the files themselves are not tagged.  They're in a state of chaos to be honest.  I've considered tackling a large-scale tagging project with JRiver, but the idea of it is daunting to say the least, so I had hoped for a workaround.

Either way, I appreciate your input.

MrC:
You can easily tag from your well-organized folder structure.  Your first stop would be the Library Tools > Fill Properties From Filename... tool.  For more advanced needs, the expression language can be employed.

I keep switching back and forth between foobar and jriver...I finally got foobar the way i liked it but then decided to play with DLNA.  It was very flaky at best with foobar, but i was able to get it to work with jriver in a matter of a few minutes...so i am back to jriver..hopefully last time i change since I am almost done...but i have all my files organized by folders.  

How do i replace the genre tag with my folder structure?
Or better can jriver display by folder structure vs genre/artist/title tags?

My structure is like this
F:\music\jazz
F:\music\rock 60s-70s
F:\music\pop 80s
etc....

and then i have the artist below the genre folders
and then i have the albums below the artist folders
and then i have the songs below the album folders

H E L P   PLEASE...this will be the last thing i need to do to complete my efforts!

Thanks

Why not browse by genre?

Try library tools?
Right click at file then Library Tools > Fill Properties From Filename.
