I'm making a musical mp3s library.  So I have, say, the following directory
tree:

+ musical-library
  | 
  + genres
  | |
  | + classical
  | |
  | + pop
  | |
  | + folk
  | |
  | + opera: una.furtiva.lacrima-schipa.mp3
  |
  |          casta.diva-callas.mp3
  |
  + artists
    |
    + tito-schipa
    |
    + maria-callas
    |
    + frank-sinatra

etc.  Now, suppose that I want to put una.furtiva.lacrima-schipa.mp3 *also* in
the tito-schipa directory, and casta.diva-callas.mp3 *also* in the maria-callas
directory...  That's what I'm trying to do...

Thanks,

Rodolfo
