How do you guys organise your music directories?

Hey Nexus,

 

This post assumes you're on a Windows OS. I use both Win7 and a few variations of GNU/Linux however I only play music on my Windows PC so my folder structure should be similar to yours.

 

Currently my music is organised like so;

 

\Music\Genre\Artist\Album

 

But I was thinking of switching to simply \Music\Artist\Album because lots of music falls under more than one genre. What about naming your audio files? I currently name like this;

 

Artist - 01 - Track name

 

Does anyone else have a better method of keeping things neat? ^^

music/artist

 

Not even by album. I don't really change the file names. I prefer just track name and use the metatag to keep track of artist name and album,

 

 

Buuuuut, I have music from so many different genres and subgenres including songs in different genres from the same artists and like you, songs that belong in multiple genres, it's just a cluster f*#@.

 

It sucks in that sometimes I just want to listen to music from a certain genre or a subgenre and it's kinda hard to wade through relatively small library to find those songs.

 

But then, that's what playlists are for.
