is there any nice software, like picasa but for music? it is not being easy to find them and to organize only using the fabulous folder interface invented by microsoft. |

I haven't used it much, but MediaMonkey has a lot of features, and it's free. I'm not exactly sure how picasa works. |

You can use iTunes to automatically organize everything (rename files and folders and move them) based on ID3 tags. It's a piece of cake. |

Speaking of ID3 tags, MusicBrainz Picard just might be the best program ever! Not exactly for "organizing" though. |

i swear by itunes - used to just use folders and such, but the itunes interface is so simple and lets you access music any way you wish, i couldnt imagine browsing my library in any other way. |

I hate itunes, i hate it so much. I never can find what i'm looking for on it, and it always puts my stuff in different folders. terrible. i just use regular folders and sort my shit myself, exactly how i want it. |

NEVER USE ITUNES! It organizes your music and their folder structure in a way that so incredibly inefficient and complicated that no other software, including yourself will never be able to navigate through it without being tied down to iTunes. I highly recommend J River Media Center, which most people dont realize was the original inspiration for iTunes. Its also much better than iTunes, it supports pretty much everything u can think of and organizes your music in the way that 99% of all other programs do. It also supports folder.jpg for album covers which makes it absolutely easy as hell to add art yourself. You have to download a cracked version from a torrent site tho, since they sell it. |

That iTunes "Sorting Artist" update a while back was terrible. It's a good idea, but they should've given some notification beforehand and the option to disable it. It took forever to get my things back in order again; changing one song at a time, then setting sort fields. But look at that cover flow, mmm. |

ive never understood how people dont understand the itunes folder structure iTunesMusic\Artist Name\Album Name\Track Number. Track Title So long as you put your ID3 tags in order, i dont see how the organization can be troublesome |
||||||||
|
|

|

Exactly, man, exactly. Plus, you can batch rename and update things. And if you want other information, use the comment tag. Or the composer tag. or the album artist, etc. |

if yall dont like the folder structure just turn the Keep Music Folder Organized and Copy Files To Music Folder off |
||||||||

or not use itunes at all of course |

i've yet to find any useful software for organising mp3's. they all have their flaws or think they know whats best. you're better off doing it yourself. my mp3's look something like |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the way i do it is Genre/artist/album/track I have pretty general genre folders ,like electronic, rock, hiphop, classical, and then artists under those etc. works wonders for me.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and i also have special 'group' folders to separate certain groups like the dnb group sour, and i also have label folders, both these are under the 'misc' folder. |
||||||||

|
|
exactly! |

Every time my HDD is full, I buy a new one with double the space and make a new folder for mp3s. That's pretty much how I organise my MP3's heh. 50,000 files later, I think it's time for another HDD. |

I've got a nice wooden rack from Habitat that I keep mine in. |

I use rhythmbox its a decent audio player thing based on itunes. Its for linux. I just have all my music saved in /home/david/music each artist gets a directory and each album gets a sub directory of the respective artist. Any one off tracks, etc go in the main artist directory. I tend to load the whole music directory and stick it on shuffle. I've got much more stuff on vinyl and that's organised more in genres. The easiest way is to do it yourself then you get it exactly how you want it. |
