on file organization…

…so, the other day I decided to whip my MP3 collection back into shape with a better organization and naming convention, and to put good ID3 (v1 and v2) tags into them. The organization/naming convention I chose is as follows:

Artist/

Album/

Artist – Album – Track# – Title.mp3

Various Artists/Compilation/Soundtrack albums pose a different problem, so this file-level naming convention is a bit different:

Album – Track # – Artist – Title.mp3

I think that works out well. Any ideas?

I think that is how I am going to do it too.
Well, thatis when I decide to get off my rump and do it.

i like to have my artists’ albums listed chronologically, so i always name my albums like this:

artist [year] album name

for example:
Autechre [1997] Chichlisuite
Autechre [2002] Gantz Graf EP
Autechre [2003] Draft 7.30

works like a charm.
