You'll find plenty of posts in this and other similar forums, in which users ask for new features related to folder view, and in which they state their intention to avoid the use of tags. This can be because a user with a large untagged or poorly tagged collection is reluctant to commit to the task of tagging it fully. For me, that defeats the point, not just of tagging (obviously), but of putting one's music on the network in the first place.

Simon has expressed concern that the cost of entry, or learning curve, of current music streaming technology is much too high for the ordinary user, and I agree with him. The learning and workload required to tag a collection is a major part of this entry cost, and is denying some (possibly many) users the real benefits of their streamed music system.
