how does everyone organize their music files
Cool avatar TonyT
Wow, there are some very organised people out there.
Over here, just one big TRIBALMIXES folder, and recently i added a TM RADIO folder which allows ease of access through utorrent, ftp and access whilst out and about. Although i wanted to, I found it difficult to house music in separate folders as when something went awall with windows or utorrent it was way too time consuming to force recheck, each individual files. Much easier to have in one common folder.
I lost some dearly treasured files recently, i learnt my lesson with the failing of a hard drive. I was lucky as all was recoverable through generous users of tribalmixes coming to my rescue. I do backup my music files, usually monthly or bi monthly, these particular folders had been missed. Can i stress to everyone if you have music you wish to have into the future, Back it up!

iTunes managing around 120 gigs on an external HDD. i only keep excellent sets or albums, otherwise i'd have stacks of drives with only music. weekly radio shows get deleted once i listen. active music collection is only 10 gigs or so on my phone.
i backed a lot of older sets on google music when it first came out, but i rarely listen to that. spotify for individual songs, mostly.

i organize my downloads by download date, my rips by rip date, when my 200GB hdd space overfills once every couple of months, i burn 20-30 dvds at one shot, also marking them with months' names so that when i need something, i'll look up here when it was posted and easy find it by file-dates if on hdd or by correctly marked dvds.. i have about 200 dvds already... basically i only use them to reseed something if noone else does... but lately noone wants any reseeds pretty much...

Dvd's...brilliant. i have one new hdd ready to go in storage, but, i am running out of living space...life takes a lot of room for me!
I've been collecting music since 2005. I have them organized by year downloaded. And burned dvds as backup
If you have a lot of music in the end always you have little or big mess. :) More interesting part is creating backups, because even in messy structure you can listen what you want, but if you lost it...

On that note I wish i had a 4tb go drive to put all my music on. I left two big drives at home in the states and im in SK now. And i really wanna hear Dario Nunez. It's the first torrent i ever dl from here.
I have 5 3tb disks and instead of using a RAID array I just use Diskeeper. It works pretty well for me and its less of a hassle to replace disks in the group.
In Musicbee, by genre and then by year
By artist, then by set or album alphabetically.
Kickin' it... old school!

Each artist has their own folder each album has it's own folder, all tracks tagged using Easytag and shared on home network from my media server.
Still using Winamp and iTunes until I find something better.

I have everything stored on a 2TB drive and backed up on the same size drive. My electronic folder is at 300GB currently. Probably a few doubles in there but not too many.
