My music directory is largely organized into artist folders, with albums inside, but this totally falls apart if an album is by more than one artist. Sure, I can put such albums into the root of the music folder.. but it feels out of place. I use the winamp media library to actually load my albums, but I'm slightly neurotic about how my music is organized anyway. Suggestions? o_o | ||

I have a folder called "Albums" where all the stuff I download go in there. It's tagged by Artist Name - Album - Year. I also have a folder called "Singles" with subfolders A-Z, 0-9 and organize it from there. I love organizing music, and I did all of this manually. Took me forever, but feels good. | ||

stuff sorted by albums, some by artists, some isolated by song name. Some of my tracks are logically labeled mp3s, others are confusingly named track-number+gibberish. Once you guys find an awesome solution, I'd be glad to use it. | ||

IF I had more though, I might organize it by genre. I don't think I could sort through it any other way, because sometimes you want to listen to a certain type over another. Make different folders for types, IMO. | ||

Some albums are also clustered in folders by label. -_- | ||

 But either way I'm also very anal about my music organization. I don't know what music player you use, but I use iTunes and I simply organize all my music by folder. Artist --> Album --> Songs in there. iTunes seems to auto correct most of them, but for ones that aren't there is a problem called "TuneUp" I've used which auto organizes things for you. I think it only works on iTunes but I wouldn't be surprised if there are similar programs (for free) out there that do this for any music player.Anyways, best of luck! | ||

"Series takes highest priority, followed by composer," does that mean if there is no discernible series name, you just ignore, and label the root directory with the composer name? @NeverGG, I used to do this manually. Are you doing it manually too? o_o Try MP3tag, then you can just drag and drop directories into it, then have it auto-capitalize/etc. Unless you specifically modify the capitalization rules, it'll also capitalize insignificant words too. -_- | ||

I have maybe like 2 gigs of music with the newest edition being the CD from the musical Wicked. I just organize it by Artist don't bother with anything else throw them all into one pile because then i never remember which album had which song. Not like I have to deal with alot of songs i only rip the ones i like the biggest pile would be like from RHCP or The Distillers | ||

Organizing my music is like the only thing I can sit for an hour or so doing and actually feel good about doing it. I have a couple of friends with more then 150+ gigs each and omfg their collection of music is half organized and other half a complete mess. I sometimes go thru their inventory and cringe thinking that some may be duplicates. | ||

I hate when I have albums with the tracks sorted alphabetically, ruins the album experience! I also have a folder where all my P2P downloads go before I sort them. It's kind of a rotating "new music" folder | ||
