Nah...just use Eagson! . Probably the best MP3 ID tag/renaming utility I have ever used.

I know what you mean. Luckily I decided on doing this a couple years ago before my collection was really out of hand. I don't know if I'd go back and do it now.

Originally posted by DaRoZa EDM tracks - several subfolders... still in the process of dividing over 1000 tracks into each of these house - progressive, melodic (pryda and trancey house tracks go here) house - electro, classic, tribal, funky etc techno, minimal, dark tech house house - progressive, weird, trippy (crazy sebastien leger, deadmau5, dahlback etc tracks go here) trance (need to divide this one into a few subgenres when i get time) electronica (tommie sunshine, mstrkrft, other electro/pop/rock stuff)

I'd love to do the same thing with my electronic folder, but it would take way too long and I'm way too lazy.

Chronologically.

And sorted within an Excel spreadsheet with the following headers by cell:

a.) disc number + track number
b.) artist
c.) song title
d.) record label
e.) genre
f.) sub genre

Currently sitting at 170 discs, and 1200 songs organized like this (DJ music)

The rest of my other music is by genre. I have about 1200 hip hop (store bought) sorted by alphabetical order up on my wall from 1992-1996 mostly. Trip-hop/chilled/downtempo I have in a separate section by my bed. Anything else is just combined and sorted in alphabetical order.

I don't even download dj sets anymore.... though I still have them all sorted by artist name within a folder on my computer.

Website / Facebook / Soundcloud

Here is my process:

Download to Desktop for review.

If I wish to keep the file, it gets moved to Downloads Not Categorized.

Then at the end of the month it gets moved to it's appropriate folder under Music/2007 (Month)

After 6 months, it gets moved to my external HDD.

----------

File naming is as follows (including case sensitivity):

Artist - Title (feat.) (remix)

All ID3 tags are generated as well.

I've never understood why people put who the track is featuring at the end, on the track side of the dash. Am I the only one who thinks all the artists belong on one side (save for remixes)?

It allows for proper alphabetical listing this way. If you put the featured artist before the title of the track, it screws that up

Where else do you post photos besides TA and Facebook?

You're right. All my tracks that feature another artist are at the bottom of the list. Small price to pay I guess :S

I Agree.

The only time I have Feat. in the track section is when it's a complete album so it doesn't screw up the ordering like Chris said.
