How do I update Library Files/Folders

When I download music onto my hard drive then add the songs to the library through iTunes, how do I get the songs to sort themselves into proper folders by singer, and by albums on the hard drive of my computer. Instead of having them as individual songs and unorganized?

- Edit=>Preferences=>'Advanced/General' tab
- Make sure that both the 'Keep iTunes Music folder organized' and 'Copy files to Music folder when adding' are both 'checked'

If the downloaded files still do not organize correctly, then the ID3 tags may be incorrect. Edit them within iTunes and they will be organized (moved) on the PC correctly.
