how does everyone organize their music files, page 3
no way ;p i like chaotic tracks everywhere
me too...sometimes
..sometimes...
Lol, each singer, DJ, band have their own directory...I have lots of subdirs with one track only..
My biggest folder is with Tiesto Discography, i burn his sets, the same I do with G&D's sets..
I have one main directory _Albumz and one Music
At Albumz I place all the sets and albums(from Lord of the Dance thru JES, Mark Norman to Barry White ), while at Music i place single tracks, only Tiesto has its own separate directory...hehe

I have 1 folder (mixes) en when you look in there you see.......chaos Every 3/4 months i delete all files and folders and after that i create chaos again.....and so on
its hard to me to delete anything, i do it very very rarely and only mp3, never flac or dvd
Both hdd's crashed some time ago with 1tb music and since then i delete everything.....deleting feels much better then hd crash thats why
yeah...hmm..hdd crash..sounds alfull
but hey, everybody thinks "it wont happen to me" before it does and so am i, nevertheless it did but i want to think it wont again
but hey, everybody thinks "it wont happen to me" before it does and so am i, nevertheless it did but i want to think it wont again
every time I think that it won't happen again it do so I won't think about it again I'll get tons of back up I do copy all my music in Cds & Dvds so I have 2 copies of the best sets I like so in this way I gurantee losing nothing
Years Folder. Then like tribalmixes: DJ/artist, title/show, date.
All months back-up on ext. hd.

I use transmission as the Torrent client. Once I click the button to DL the torrent, its automatically in the program, automatically downloading to my music folder. I use Amarok as my music player. It scans my music folder recursively and auto-updates whenever there is new music in my music folder. No need to organize anything.
I prefer to have my personal music collection in Flac, for many years now..
Mors Certa, Hora Incerta..
i have folders named by genres and created icons from trblmixes
Filname = DJ name - date (YYYY/MM/DD) place (whatever)
DJ Name - This puts all DJs in order (so you can find the type of music)
DATE - arranged by YEAR then MONTH then DAY so they end up in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER (by time) within each DJ list...
PLACE ETC - The rest is just so YOU might remember Es Paradis, or Creamfields, or wherever
That way one folder for everything!! Simples!!
6 of 10... I need a break from this to do more important things... L8r

I used to organize by date (by week). Then, I realized this system is pure shit for DJing as you can only remember the big hits or tracks you found in the last few months.
As such, I spent 9 months about 2 to 3 hours per day to reorganizing my entire (14,000 track) music collection into genres by year. I kept the genres generic and ones that have meaning to me as everyone has their own opinion of what Progressive or Tech house is.
For Example, I have the following folders:
Techy (includes tech, tech house, progressive, and alike)
Progy Trance (Trancy sounding tracks that are on the progressive side)
Trancy (more vocals, uplifting, and so on)
Cluby (hard banging club stuff)
D&B
Dubstep
Funky (anythin with a funky feel)
Breaks
Anyway, this has changed my life as now when I dj, I can go to any folder in any year and play songs that will work together even though I may not remember them. Genius!
BTW, don't feel bad, I did this all at work. LOL

I've been searching for a way to organize my 30000+ mp3 collection for a while. And yesterday I found this Beets, https://beets.radbox.org/ .
Haven't tried it yet but it seems interesting. Anyone know/use it?
