So I downloaded itunes and decided to start using my ipod. I'm successfully listening to a podcast I subscribe to, but I also (obviously) want to use this thing for music.

I'm having trouble organizing this stuff. I had all my mp3s organized into a few different headings but when I moved everything into itunes, I just highlighted my overall music folder and imported it. For some reason, itunes decided to put 3,000 of my mp3s into 90s music and the other 11,000 into 'recently added'. Now it's a total mess. I have two long lists of music.

Any suggestions as to how I can organize this? Any chance that itunes somehow remembers the folders it ganked this music from and can re-create them?

And a quick ipod question... Is it ok to plug it in every evening to get the latest podcasts so I can listen to them the next day? Essentially what I'm asking is whether I'm screwing the battery. I basically want to come home, plug in the ipod and let it do its syncing thing and then grab it the next morning. I only listen to it for a couple hours over the course of the day while I'm driving.
FTR, I asked this question to a friend and he asked what I was using to play it in my truck. No, it's not one of those fm transmitters that charges it. I have an aux jack in my truck, so I just plug a double male cord in from the ipod to the truck stereo.
