In Sound on Sound magazine van december 2002 staan een paar nuttige tips over dit EXS-probleem.

"I have a large collection of Akai CD-ROMs which I've built up over the years, and I've recently been converting them for use with the EXS24 software sampler within Logic. The great thing about EXS24 is that you can then organise all the sampler Instruments as you go by setting up hierarchical folders within Logic's Sampler Instruments folder. Unfortunately, EXS24 won't organise the actual samples themselves along the same lines — your Akai Samples folder simply fills up with dozens of folders containing the sample sets required for individual programs, which doesn't tell you which CD-ROM they came from. The only way I've found around this, is to be organised right from day one, and I use the following system to avoid things getting messy:
As soon as you translate your first Akai CD-ROM, create a new folder named after the library title, put it inside the Akai Samples folder, then drag all the newly loaded program folders into it. When you come to load in the next Akai CD-ROM, do the same again, so that each disc ends up with a separate folder containing only its own samples. The reason this is better than having one folder full of hundreds of folders is that it makes it easier to delete a specific library disc if you need to, and it also makes it easier to track down individual samples that relate to a specific CD-ROM. It also simplifies the process of backing up the samples to CD-R in EXS24 format, as it's a simple matter to use a CD-burning program to back up the Sampler Instruments and Akai Samples folders pertaining to any particular CD-ROM.
If you want to load only parts of library CD-ROMS, then you can either still create folders named after the CD-ROM or you can create categories such as pads, basses, loops and so on, though sticking with the CD-ROM title may still be better from an organisational point of view. Another useful trick if you find you have a program on the drive that you decide you don't like is to use the "Copy" or "Move Audio Files" functions of the EXS24, accessed via the Instrument Editor's Edit menu, to move the offending samples to a temporary folder so that they can be identified and discarded. The sampler Instruments are easier to find and chuck out, but, whatever you do, make sure the samples you're discarding aren't also used by another program that you want to keep."
