Music Folder Organisation

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I've decided tonight's the night to organise my music files on the pc and it's a 'mare. I've gone for by artist, and then the odds and sods in 3 folders - Dance, Goth/Indie, others.

Any better ideas? How have you got yours organised? Albums is easy enought but it's all the individual tracks I'm struggling with. :urff:

Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

For me it's just my music/<artist name>/<album>/<artist> - <trackname>

Oh, and if you want to do it faster: use mp3tag, which is a very nice program to edit tags, and organise your music files (put them to different folders/drives)...

There's so much Sisters mp3s I had (unorganised) I just did not know what to do with them, was a whole lot of work to get those organised :lol:
