Neither should they, if they choose not to.

Which is precisely what iTunes allows you to do. Don't do anything at all if
you don't want to and leave every song in the general Library, because like
the new Finder or XCode the search box gives you real-time filtering on all
existing songs. Or simply drag a song a into a playlist, if you like. Or let
the app keep track of what you like/tend to listen to. Or create simple
rules to maintain dynamically updating playlist. Etc. Try it!

I have roughly 10,000 songs in my iTunes library. I defy you to find
specific songs without resorting to some kind of classification structure.

And did you push any buttons subsequently?
