Music On Your Computer
Sir-Namin:
My music folders are sorted into 3 sections right now: cds I own, which I have ripped with WMP at 128 kb/s, Music I have downloaded that is organized, and music that is completely unorganized and scattered all across my desktop/my documents/downloads folder. I am in the process of buying all the music that I listen to, but until then it's kind of a huge mess. the music that I do have organized is in the /artist/album/## Track name.mp3, because that's what works best for me right now.
Sir-Namin:
iTunes still consolidates your library the first time you install it, I got all of the music off of my old iPod that way. but I've tried Media Monkey and for some reason I wasn't able to figure out anything. so I stick to the old fashioned method of letting WMP figure it out for me, lol (if you let iTunes rip it the files are like 10x as big and sonically aren't that much better than WMP ripping the mp3s.

Uh...what?
It still has that feature.
Be My Head:
Right now it's like this.
It's organized by folders of album or whatever the hell I download or rip, because on the frontend in whatever media player I'm using at the time (Banshee on Lunix, Foobar on Windoze) it shows up perfectly fine. I don't see the need to organize folders, I just scan it into my media player.
As far as *tagging* goes: If it's a band, I follow the tracklisting/names I find on the internet, if it's a composer's works I go by the full name of the composer and then add in the performers/conductor in extra fields, if it's a cover or compilation or something, I go by the name of the artist performing the cover.
If there's someone featuring in someone else's music, I suppose you could add a "Feat. name of person here". But I would add them in an extra field.
look out! Ninjas!:
