| How do you guys do it? At the moment I've just got mp3s of all kinds of genres and ages scattered about my hard drive, I need a way to sort them out, how do you lot do it? I'm thinking maybe a sort of digital DJ crate then just put everything in there by genre. |

| i tend to stack them. It's ok so long as you don't put all the 320k ones on top. |

| I organize them slowly as to not make mistakes. |

five folders -
prog/techier house
minimal/tech
club/electro house
trance
random crap
the first four are further broken down into folders of 'Pre-2002', and every year since 2003, 2004, etc.
The yearly folders are broken down into months 'Jan', 'Feb', etc.
...the random crap folder... well it's random.
If I don't have the month in which a certain song was released I use the month in which I got a hold of it.
Simple to find a track because I just have to remember the year and month, instead of everything else. "Ohh yeah that's Prog January 2004!" then you go to that folder and seek through some 10-15 tracks instead of a load.
I find this system awesome, but I spent 2 hellish months organizing it nightly back in sophomore year in college. However it's rewarding once you do get it done because as soon as you get a track you can file it away easily. Thank you beatport for including complete date of release. |

Ideally I want it to be like this;
PHP:
I have it down to EDM, but no year and genre. Too much work.
Use Tag&Rename to help you tag stuff, rename mp3s, grab info, ect ect. |

| i have all beat-driven/mixable edm organised into folders by year, then one big 'other' folder containing indie/chillout/pop & the likes. then one folder for sets, and another for temporary/stuff to sort/stuff to tag. i've been tempted to sort them further into styles but it's a pain jumping between folders to get from one year to another as it is (i used to just have them all in one folder but it got a bit excessive to handle) |

| I don't really see the need to organise - if I need something I just search it through the playlist that has everything in it. Takes about 2 seconds. |
