I separate by sub-genres and also by release date (I keep tracks within a span of 5 years together). I don't wanna mix the new stuff with old school music!

I sort all my music by genre and then split into sub crates by their respective release year. I used to split them by month as sub crates under the year for each genre, but that just became too much.
I have different playlists separated by what I like to refer to as genres on my 32GB stick, for example:
Progressive House
Tech House
Techno
With each playlist you may find tracks within them that appear in another playlist/s because they are compatible, so for example a techno track may work well in a tech House orientated set or even a Progressive House set.
Then within each playlist containing around 100 tracks the tracks are broken down into something akin to energy, for example:
INTRO
WARM UP
BUILD UP
DRIVING
PEAK TIME
CLOSE
This enables me to find tracks that are suitable for that particular moment quite easily.
I've found this to work very well for me.
