File saving technique: folders or not

Right now I save all files in one big folder on my Zip Disks. I want to start saving them in seperate folders to keep it more organized. I'd figure the best way to do it would be to create a folder and name it the same as the coresponding program and sequence files and save the files in it. My question is should I save the snd. files in the folder too. If I have snd. files that are used in many different programs, will I have to save the same snd. file in multiple folders because it is used in multiple programs, thus taking up space saving duplicate files? Or would my MPC when loading in the prg. file search thru all folders for coresponding snd. files? I also could just save the "program only" file in the folders with the sequences, and save all the snd. files seperately in one big folder. I'm looking for some advice. This site has been very informative, so I figured I'd see whatyou think. Peace

i just have one beat on my zip disk... and thats the beat i work... and that beats has no folder...when iam done with the beat... or if i get bored with it... i just cut and paste those files onto my pc harddrive...

its easier on me... cuz i spend less time creating, renaming, and flipping through folders on the mpc... its too tedious for me....

BUT to answer your question... having duplicate sound files on different beats shouldn't be a problem.. cuz it might come a time where you want to tweak that one file by itself on your pc(i guess this pertains to .wav files).... if you change that file and reload back on your zip... then its gonna effect the feel of your previous beats... since they share that same sound file.... so i see nothing with duplicate sounds..
