How do you organize your music?

[byrnesc1]

I do mine by genre>subgenre>artist>album>song etc. I find this easiest for sharing via slsk as well as bit torrent. Though it can be cumbersome when looking for a specific tune in MediaMonkey's location view. Anyones thoughts?

How do you organize your music?

I don't, mostly.

I let itunes do it for me and I wouldn't have it any other way.

[byrnesc1]

I just find it easy to have it well organized for djing and such. Perhaps it's just my cyber-ocd

[SelfMadeMMAn]

I have mine organized by genre/artist
I also keep a various mp3 folder organized by genres
It is easier that way for me and sharing.

Dump it all in /MP3 or /MP3-INT, might create a /MP3-Promo or /MP3-Single or /MP3-WEB soon.

I've been tempted to sort it by the release month like topsites do but searching without a db is gonna be a bitch and I don't download mp3 pres that are uploaded to MP3-TODAY anymore.

In the old days when I had time to go through infinite amount of dirs to get to an album I used to categorize it by artist eg. /home/MP3/E/Eminem/<Album name>.

In folders, one folder per artist.

Music<format<Language<Genre<Artists.

I use MP3Tag to properly tag all my music. Then it doesn't matter where the files are located. It still takes hours to tag everything properly.

[whatcdfan]

tags shud be correct in order to get music sorted out in ur player properly, wmp has this feature to edit all the tags properly by the information downloaded from AMG.as for the windows explorer MY Music>One folder Per artist>One folder per album>One folder per quality

i tunes does the best especially if all the music is in one format like only FLAC's or only MP3's i dont use i tunes but i too do it in the same pattern

[tragedi]

health in the same folder :D

[Speedo]

I have one main Music folder, and a Music B folder for other stuff I don't want in my main playlist. Also have a Music Old folder where I put classical and other music that are not of the times but I want to keep. If needed I'll create a Music C/D/E/F folder. But then I also have 2 musicplayers installed where one is only for the main folder and I can play around with the other folders in the second player. If needed I do install a third musicplayer for some of the folders.

I know it sounds like a mess but what I try to do is having a random function that works for some music but not all, and mix it how ever I want.

Have changed a bit since then. Now I order albums by genre in uTorrent (yes), and move them to a separate folder after listening.

I'd then usually burn them to DVDs and delete them from my hard disk, but I think that with my new 1TB drive there won't be any need for that for a long while.

[Timeless]

I just throw everything at itunes and it gets sorted.

[GlazeKing]

I sort my music from FLAC and Scene from there its separated into Genre folders and alphabetically.

[GreenScorpioN]

i dont .......

Inside folders, every artist has subfolder, than every album has it's own subfolder. Everything is tagged according to MusicBrainz rules. Especially classical music.
