Yeah..that works.
Under Album..I just use "Live Sets" and it'll list all Live sets that I have...
Or if you want just name it "LS - Artist Name" if you have tons of live sets... |

I don't use iPod but what I usually do when I tag these is this:
Album Artist/Ensemble/Band: Various Artists (for DJ mixes/etc)
Artist: the DJ who mixed it
Album: YYYY-MM-DD: Live from/at [event name], [location]
Title: Invidual track title (if present; if it's one big file, I use the album info here)
Year/Date: either YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM, or just the year of recording (most accurate info available)
Disc & Track Number: the relevant info requested, if available
Genre: Closest genre or style of the music
Comments: Other miscellaneous info about the file
Filling in all of this info would help keeping the sorting straight on tag-based devices & software. The first field is usually hardest to fill in because many taggers don't even have it. In Foobar2000, you wouldneed to create a 'BAND' field and put the info in there for it to show up under Album Artist in iTunes & the iPods. |

Yeah, that's what I've been doing so far but I started to wonder if there's a better way.

Well, for example I have 1 Jay Lumen set but I have 33 Desyn Masiello sets...so it depends, but I think I have 100+ sets.
Edit: Just checked and I have 157 just in 'House'. I have to add all the other ones I have in different genres so it's probably over 300. |

i tend to seperate my live sets on my ipod; if have 5 or more of a DJ then the DJ will have his own folder for live sets; anything under 5 will be in a Misc. folder |

Music > Artists > Name of set
I usually decide what I want to listen to by the name of the DJ, then pick the et I want. |
