what to do with multiple song files

I am in the process of cleaning my harddisk. It is getting full. One thing I notice is that my music (mp3) collection is not well organized. Well, it is sort of organized but not efficient. Here's a case. I organize song according to the artis' album. What do you do with songs that are the same but distributed in different albums? For example, the song is in the original album and also in several compilations (the best of, collection of this and that, and so on). Do you keep multiple copies? Or do you just keep one? If you keep only one, in which album do you organize the song in? Right now, I keep multiple copies so that when I transfer an album (or compilation), I just copy one directory. This takes too much disk space.

New Song Book

I have just got a song book from a friend. It's a copy actually. But, what makes this song book so interesting is that all the songs - 400 of them - were written by hand! I am not kidding. By hand! Here's a picture of it. I am enjoying the book right now. Reading the songs one by one. They are popular songs in the 70s and 80s, so I know most of them. Right now, I am adding chords to the songs. This book inspires me to do a similar thing; collecting lyrics and chords of songs that I like. It is difficult to find songs that I like in one book. Most of the songs I like are not common :) Thus, I am on my own. Hmm... let me find time to do this personal project.
