How do you organise your music?

[Don Seer]

mp3s i mean..

I just built a new PC and i'm sorting my shit out..

i'm torn between ways of sorting it out properly..

anyone got a system that works well?

[Z the laidback Virus]

Well, I sort them by artist in one big list. So I've got an alphabetical list of all songs I got...works well for me. The names I give are like this: 'Bad Azz f Snoopy Collins,Kokane,Suga Free & Goldie Loc- Dogghouse Ridaz'

[Don Seer]

what about things like compilations


at the moment i'm thinking something like this..

for artists..


Above The Law


Dogg Pound, Tha (DPG)
  Dogg Food
  DPG 2002

Daz Dillinger (Dat Nigga Daz)
  Retaliation, Revegne..

Kurupt
   Kuruption

and..

[compilations and mixtapes ]
    [mixtapes]
       dj lt dan
    [soundtracks]
       training day
    [labels]
         tha row  
               tgfr
               dysfunktional
         iv life
              vol 1
              vol 1.4
         doggystyle (dogghouse)
             bones
             welcome to the house



but i'm confused e.g. 'the wash' was a  aftermath/doggystyle venture.. lol

sounds like too much hassle doesnt it, lol

[kosta]

i use musicmatch jukebox

i add the track tags like this (example)
artist: Tha Alkaholiks
track title: All The Way Live (ft. Q-Tip and King Tee)
album title: Coast 2 Coast
ect..
and it's in an alphabetical order

music match has a good library, so it looks like this:

sounds like too much hassle doesnt it, lol

why wont you just do it like this?

Artist>Album>songs

[Don Seer]
