Default Confused About How to Use Media Library

I never looked at the Library before I recently upgraded to WMP 10. I burn
CDs often for my students and have always done it from Windows Explorer,
using "Send To CD Drive." Now I see "Add to Burn List." Do I assume
correctly that the "old way" doesn't work any more?
Apparently it is a good idea to select items to be burned, or played, from
within WMP's Library.
Can I use the Library like Windows Explorer? Create new folders in the left
pane and then move files into them?
What is the procedure for moving files either from Windows Explorer or from
the WMP Library out of one folder and into another. I've tried dragging but
it doesn't work.
It seems to make sense to "recreate" my Windows Explorer folder tree in the
Library. Good idea? Can it be done?

Those are different things. "Sent to CD drive" uses the Windows Explorer
burning front end, "Add to Burn list" uses WMP's burning front end.

No, the left Library pane is generally fixed.
No, as noted, you can't drag and drop like that.
