My Music: all the stuff I downloaded but not yet listened to, after I listen, it gets put into one of the following folders:
/My Compilations
/Releases
/Sets
/Vinyls & Singles

My Compilations is a folder that gets further broken down by Genre - this is where I compile my mix CDs of single songs that I come across. Each compilation gets its own folder within the genre subfolder.

Releases is for all the album releases. Each album has its own folder, named: [Artist] - [Album Title]. Inside each album folder, the mp3s are named according to: [track#] [Artist] - [Song Title]

Sets is for all the sets I downloaded and liked. A set is either in its own folder if it's broken up into separate tracks, or if there's a tracklist available. All the set mp3s have the following naming convention: [year]-[mm]-[dd] - [artist] - Live @ [venue/event]

Vinyls and Singles has a folder for each vinyl rip that I downloaded. The folders have the following naming convention: [Catalogue#] [Artist] - [Title of Vinyl].

I'm VERY organized with my music.

As for the (feat.) inside the song title, it's actually the standard convention. See here: http://musicbrainz.org/doc/OfficialStyleGuideline This is what I follow, and it makes everything look very nice and pretty (aka organized).

By "Music X" folders that are all only ~ 4 gigs in size, so I can back said folders each onto their own DVD.

Possibly a few of said folders have an artist's CD folder in them if rip or DL/buy an entire CD. id like to keep that segregated and collected together.

im kinda worried about my external hd... it makes clicking noises once in a while.. i might need to get a new external and transfer my stuff onto there just in case. my cd binder right now is sitting at 112 cds... and thats just from 2007 so far. now that i look back on it, ive spent a hell of a long time going through my tunes and choosing what to put on, and then making the playlists gah. no wonder i get nothing done.

It means your external HD is dying. Back up ASAP.

ive lost my whole collection once (back in highschool).

honestly, i was devastated. cant even tell you what it took to rebuild it, and back then it was 95% euro, 5% trance maybe.


if i were to lose it now... unfathomable. seriously.

its up there with some of the worse occurrences in my life that i was most upset by.
