Thumb drive questions

Well, got my 32GB Corsair in the mail today. Before anyone says "SEARCH", I'll let you know I already have but things are a bit confusing for a computer dunce like myself so I'm looking for a little straight forward advice regarding how to structure the files on this. I pick up my car in Atlanta in July and would like to have this thing loaded so I can have the music on my drive home.

What I'd like to be able to do is easily search for artists and play complete albums. For instance, I'd like to see Alan Parson's Project and select the album "Eye in the Sky". On the other hand, I'd like to be able to select a Genre like Jazz and randomly play all the Jazz albums I have. How should I organize my thumb drive to do this?

I know I can drag all music files onto the drive in one large chunk with no folders or playlists. Some have said the car will take quite a bit of time indexing but then I can sort by Artist and Genre but I don't see how I can select an album.

If I create folders, do I label the first one "Alan Parson's Project" and then put folders with each entire album inside that OR do I create individual playlists for each album with the album name? Can I do both?

Anyway, thanks for your help in advance.

Darn, just realized I posted in the wrong forum. Don't suppose a mod can move this over to the Audio forum for me? Thanks
