Artist - Track

Because I'm sane and normal. There's also no need to put in the album in there. They should be in folders with the name of the album.

definitely Aritst/song title.

My favorite mix trade buddy always puts the song title first though. I love him dearly, and cherish each mix I get from him, but that bugs the shit out of me sometimes.

Of course Artist-Song Title. The real question for me is in what order to arrange composer, performers, piece, and movement while writing out classical stuff. Any thoughts?

Voted opposite just for sake of it :p

Personally i preffer a folder with the artists name, a folder for each album, and just the track name. Makes it easier to see whats what on an mp3 player where it all goes scrolly and long and stuff. Like my QOTSA tracks all have queensofthestoneage at the front of the track name and when i'm going through them on my mp3 player i have to wait for it to scroll to see what track i'm on.

But otherwise artist - track yes.

...People use Track Title - Artist?

What really bugs me is when people DON'T FUCKING USE ID3 TAGS. Jesus, people, that's what they're there for! You don't need to put every tidbit of info in the file name! It's just there so you can identify the shit with a look! Would you write out the entire contents of a book on the cover?

Composer - performer - piece - movement is clearly the way to go.

Man oh man do I hear that. I can't fucking stand it when people screw up the ID3 tags. The number of times I have (completely, totally, and entirely legally) downloaded Scene releases and they are either using ID3 version 0.0001 or some crap, so the song title is limited to about 4 characters, or just labelled them completely wrong.
Jesus Christ, they're MP3 Release Groups, and they can't even get it right. Put in CD. Rip to MP3. Label right. It's not tricky. They need to spend less time on the ASCII art, and more time getting their act together.

Ogg tags are nicer than id3 imo.

As far as I can rememberl, OGG tags don't allow you to use track numbers, which is one of the things that annoys me the most.
