By genre, then artist.
iTunes organises my music for me :D
I have folders for all my Music/Artists/Album
I have my full /albums/almost full albums in Artist/Album, the scattered songs go in /various, and the multi-artist albums in /various/album.
If you use soulseek and want to make it easy on your patrons, I prefer to see Artist/Artist - Year - AlbumTitle/Artist - Track# - SongTitle.mp3Quote:

This isn't a big deal if someone leaves windows open until an album is done, but when I was at my peak, I would grab 1000 songs a day and it just wasn't practical to leave 20 windows open waiting to rename the folder.
Also, making sure the artist name is in each folder makes sure noobs aren't downloading entire artist folders that contain ten albums (or including the all loose songs that often have nowhere to go but the Artist folder) and clogging up your queue just to save him/herself the trouble of renaming.
I also don't like the genre-as-folder scheme, but that has no practical benefit other than saving clicks when trying to remember where I was last time I looked through someone's shares.
All I have is complete albums so I just have a folder full with their release folder name. Busta_Rhymes-The_Big_Bang-2006-RNS for example.
I don't really give a rats ass because iTunes does it for me. Very convenient.
I do the same as you, with subfolders. But, on my media player, i have a playlist named, "for the ladies". Had a good night out? Need the mood to be right? Click this, saves your fumbling around time for the condoms.
In fact, have two, one for most girls, and one called "for 'special' ladies". Reserve this button for those girls that you know are going to go like the clappers, with a few more racey tracks.
From me to you.
And whats wrong with Coldplay? Granted,a bit gay, but come on people, it's the time of the metroseual....
(thats METROSEXUAL Seedler...don't PM me again...)
Yep, I just make sure they have proper tags (I use iTunes), but I have a seperate media drive.
Folders: Artist--->albums--->songs or
Folders: Album--->songs
ABC order.
I list my songs with Artist first then Song after.
Say the band was Arch Enemy...then it would be like:
Arch Enemy - Nemesis
All happily organized.
But if I have like, ALOT of one band; they receive the privilege of their own folder.
And which priveleged bands do you have subfolder for?Quote:

The things I find hard to list are movie themes ie file it under the artist and title if there is one, or the name of the movie eg Beverly Hills Cop or Starwars ?
Also what about classical music eg Beethovens 7th Symphony may be perforfmed by many different orchestras and conductors. So do you list it as Orchestra Composer Title or Composer Title Orchestra ?

Each one of these being folders.
<As for your second question, I would label it "Composer Title Orchestra".>
d:\music\
Folders are artist - album title
I usually leave the track titles as they are but i like track# title.mp3
For single tracks that i get i just put them in d:\music\ and label them artist - title. Also I remove the album info from the tag usually.
In winamp I use the media library to put in order of artist and keep each artist's albums organized by track number.
For me Folders are Artist - Album Title, songs are Artitst - Track title.flac,mp3 or whatever format it is. Yes, im a simpleton.
Thanks, good suggestionQuote:
