(pg. 2) View this Thread in Original format Henkie_henk 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 :D 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 :D JM 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< Pointy 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 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 :) diffusion 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 ty 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"... breakdown for my vinyl.. i have an Excel database.. with headings Artist Track Genre Promo Remixes Release notes personal Rating Price lol.. how sad eh?? and yep.. i enter EVERY one of my records in there lol.... ummm.. mp3.. i put em into ma lil folders: trance dutchtrance top traxx ambient hard progressive vocal vdm/ferrycorsten airscape lol -TAIS- 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... tu_face 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 etc etc on em... Peace Linx_da_cat 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. DfromK 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 :-) Swamper 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 :D igottaknow quote: Originally posted by Swamper ...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... U da man. i do the same thing but i use the + instead of = for example: Digweed-Bedrock [210]+ Heaven Scent.mp3 ps i like to lable: - [cd and track#]
