Well i just put them by artist for the non-trance songs
Nelly furtado
Acda en de munnik
Eddy zoey
Bla bla

I recently put all the trance in one big folder
Its called Trance

I also have listened to all my trance.. got rid of the really bad ones, im trying to give them their full names now... A LOT OF WORK.

And i just put all my trance in winamp. And decide what kind of playlist im gonna make. ONLY HARDTRANCE? Than ill make a playlist with only hardttrance. After having made that i make another playlist with a selection of only the best hardttrance ive got. Thats how i work

i got all my mp3s in alphabetical order by artist name, burned on cd-rw's, so i can always add new ones, all my live sets burned on cd-r's. like cheesenip, i got little hard drive space, but i don't listen to music on computer anyways, i burn cd's every chance i get, cause i'm always on the go...

>JM<

i have one folder called Full Albums
in there i just have folders for each album then all my singles just go on the base "Full Albums" folder.. i name the tracks by - - -

people like to catogorize all their shit in special folders like "Techno" "House" "Trance" "Drum'n'Bass" but i reckon it's just easier to have it all in one big folder. Prettier too

Well, I simply have a folder called Singles, and one called "Albums And Compilations", this is only electronic, but 95% trance...

As for the naming of the files, here`s and example of how I do it:
Electra - Hear Me Feel Me [Liquid Child Remix] <-- tnx skysc!

anywayz, no shitty underscores or dots, when it`s finally on my hardrive, it`s destined to stay there, and I don`t need it to be "site prepared"...

I also have a excell file for my albums/livesets (850+), Videoclips (75+), Vinyls/Single Sets (60+)... I first sort out on genre (Dance, Rap, Pop, Hardcore), then on artist, album/liveset name & date... And I also have colloms with time, cd #, MB, additional info and year...

I listen to trance and hip-hop mainly, so i got two folders, one for trance and one for hip-hop. I also cant stand pointlessly long filenames, so i just make the m bklunt and to the point (artist - title) as opposed to them ones that have the album name, the track name, the genre, the date, and the last time the artist took a shit etc etc on em...

Peace

MUGGETS

mine isn't as complicated as ya'll.

i just have all my trance mp3s in a folder titled mp3s in my documents folder. hehe. the only mp3s i got are trance, techno, industrial, dnb...etc. electronica.

hmm... I never keep .mp3-s, just decode and burn them to Cd-s 'cause my car is the only place where I can listen to the music with pleasure :-)

Alright my hard drive is a mess.

\upload2

^^ Where all incoming uploads come from various Ta's

\newvids

^^ Where I place new vids I downloaded/have not yet burned

\newmp3\mixes

^^ Livesets

\newmp3\filtered

^^ All tracks that will eventually be renamed & archived

\newmp3\#passed_tests

^^ All tracks that sound good and are almost good enough to keep but need to listen to em again

\napster

All my napster incoming junk

And then the stuff I keep:

Music Categories (by dir)

\mp3\

Ambient
Dnb
Eurodance
Freestyle
Hard House
House
Jungle
Latin
Popular
Progressive (trance)
Rap, R&B, Hip-Hop
Rave & Hard Trance
Slowjams
Techno
Trance

...Within each dir if a certain track/mix stands out then I put an = in front of it so it shows up first on my dir listing... the better it is the more ===== it has in front of it.

So if you see a track on napster with ======artist_name-track_name-www_tranceaddict_com.mp3 then that's a song that makes me go nuts.

I also have a list of all Music Vids and stats/specs on each so in case I get a better version I'll replace the bad one:

Mauro Picotto - Iguana
[42.5M]
[03:31]
Picture Size: 352 x 288
Bit rate: 1 433 600 bits/sec
Frame rate: 25.00 frames/sec
