Do you sort your mp3 collection?

When I browse peeps on the hub, some have like 100 directories for all genres, or a directory per artist. And the tags, most have v1 and v2 tags, but a lot don't...

I sort all my mp3s nice, all 100% correct name and tags

Like '01-lexicon_4_-_lexicon_4-reach_me._airscape_mix-heb.mp3'

is 'Lexicon 4 - Reach Me (Airscape Remix).mp3'

All singles in 1 big directory, and 1 directory for new downloads

i am extremely anal about my mp3s... every single one has to be named a certain way and tagged a certain way. VERY ANAL!

Tnx godd we don't have an expresion like that
DJ's/Producers who I really like, their tracks I put in one file. Like DJ Scot Project. The rest I sort by style and then by name

i just download all the release folder and put the info in an info folder and the tracks in a mp3 folder i have
don't rename or anything

My Directories go as follows
Albums
Live Sets
Rave
Other

I always rename without all the underscores and whatnot, and depending on how Im feeling I might add (original mix) or not. And I also have a habit of always renaming files to mix, rather than remix.

Unfortunately mine are in an awful mess. I never bothered sorting them from the start and since I've got 10 GB of them on my HD it will be pretty hard to start doing it now. Though when I'm bored I might fix them all some day.

I tried to sort mine by genre but a lot of songs came up that are somewhat between the genres so I gave up. Have them all nicely tagged though.

Posted by arj1o1 on Dec-15-2002 18:41:

yes of course:

01_hiver_and_hammer_feat_java_-_five_million_miles_handhs_different_gear_mix-sq.mp3
would be:
Hiver and hammer ft. java - Five million miles [Handhs different gear mix].mp3

first letter of artist, title and remix with capital others not and [] for remix because i think they look nicer than the ()

I've always sorted into sets and individual tracks directories, but just recently I've started going through my tracks and deciding what I like and don't and purging bad stuff. All my new downloads are now going into an incoming folder where I can listen to them and keep then separate until I decide if they're keepers or trash.

I always rename, also.

all sorted and tagged

Posted by teklord310 on Jan-11-2003 04:43:

75% sorted but most aren't tagged.

Posted by kluba_702 on Jan-11-2003 15:14:

Posted by BigDil on Jan-12-2003 18:07:

Sorted & Tagged...
Artist - Title [Some Remix]
Same in the id3 tag.
That's the way I like them.

I sort all my mp3s by genre and then style it seems to work really well.

Posted by AmbiguousBliss on Jan-20-2003 07:37:

I'm a bit of a perfectionist so it's all got to be properly labelled, sorted, tagged, etc.

Posted by jon on Jan-20-2003 08:46:

i try to sort them by directory and sometimes rename iff imm in the mood to

Posted by TatanaGirl on Jan-20-2003 10:25:

I'm planning to organize my mp3's, just as I'm planning to clean up my room. Both are a big mess!

Posted by dj2kTA on Jan-21-2003 19:19:

I sort into livesets, albums, singles, etc.

Posted by arj1o1 on Jan-21-2003 19:24:

of course, but it's a mess right now

Artist - Track title [Remix].mp3

Artist/title/remix only first name capitalized

so JUrGen De VriEs_-_ThE_ThEmE_(OriGINaL_Mix).mp3
is Jurgen de vries - The theme [Original mix].mp3

Posted by m0sh on Jan-21-2003 21:56:

I download the whole release....

When I get 700 MB I burn it all...then I sort only the best tune of one folder...but I don't edit the name

Posted by *HaRRy* on Jan-23-2003 20:40:

Posted by KoreanDJ on Jan-24-2003 19:55:
