well heres how i do it.
My Music folder is somewhat disorganized still but its a lot better than what it once was. I still have my classical, hiphop/rnb/rap, alternative, Dave Matthews, and other (random songs, movie soundtracks etc) folders. I may throw all of these on dvds as i dont listen to these anymore but would like to keep.
EDM wise: Starting the middle of last year, I switched to organizing my tunes by month. I find this much easier. Before I made the switch I just had a big folder and within it, I would have some individual artist folders like Tiesto, Armin, benassi, etc but its mainly a big folder full of tracks. Then when I really got into house, I made a big house folder which is just random tracks. I used to have a torrent folder but I got rid of that and organized everything by month, year. I also have a folder for sets as well as one for mixes I've made.
Now all downloads go into the current month folder. At the end of the month, I load that month into itunes and listen to all the tracks deleting whichever I do not like. Then throw the best tracks of the month onto cds for the binder |

| Wow you guys, you are so cute and so planned...Damn, I have everything in one folder or by dates of download, but that happens rarely...When it comes to organizing anything on computer, I am horrible, unless it's work-related; then, I get anal about it. All or nothing kinda thing:cool: |

very anally. and as of late, i fear i havn't been anal enough, and have to go back and add information to 300 or 400 songs.
also, i feel this is a good time to note the importance of backups! also, an off-site backup in case of fire, flood, or theft. |

| I cant stand looking for tunes on DVD. I have to have them available on my hard drives to listen to. The only time I burn them is for perminent back up, which I store on the shelf and leave there until a hard drive failure. I cannot wait for those 4TB drives! |

I also have a habit of editing all my mp3s I download to get rid of the bits of silence at the start/end of an mp3. I also do a volume adjust on each mp3 as well. Out of almost everything in my life, I think I'm most anal when it comes to my music collection. Everything has to be just so or it'll be fixed right away. I can't count how many times I've spent an hour or longer finding out exact spelling etc on artists/tracks, some of which include finding artwork for a cd/vinyl.

+1 on that! I couldn't handle having to get a cd/dvd out to listen to anything. It has to be right there, ready to go at all times. |
