I've been rather bored lately with the way my music is organized... I pretty much let iTunes do it way back when I first got an iPod and I've kept it since then but I don't like using the iTunes music folder and then sorting everything by artist, then album, and then the song files...

Does anyone else organize their music NOT how iTunes has guided us to?

Also... What is your most complicated music file name?
Example: LoveGame (Chew Fu Ghettohouse Fix) [feat. Marilyn Manson]

I'm so OCD about how my music is organized. At least 98% of my 9409 songs are perfection.

Song: All capitalized and complete with words 'Featuring', (Remix), (Live), (7'' Version) etc

Artist: Capitalized, and NEVER has the iTunes import settings of '____ ft.'. It messes up and makes more artists when I search on my iPod and iPhone.

Album: Always in the album tracklisting number, even if I only have one song from it. I don't have '(Deluxe Edition)' because it separates it from the standard.

Genre: All the usual that iTunes provides, but 'Hip Hop/Rap' instead of 'Hip-Hop/Rap'. I also have a few self made like Live, Showtunes, World, Ska

Artwork: ALWAYS look for the iTunes official one, or the one off Wikipedia. If the song is a single it'll have the single artwork before the album. If there is a standard/deluxe edition, the ones on the deluxe will have the deluxe artwork.

I don't have any (feat.) or anything like that on any of my songs.

And then I don't have (Deluxe Edition) showing.

I always take off "Deluxe edition" or whatever. Like I have the Deluxe version of Ke$ha's Warrior, but it's listed as "Warrior" with 16 tracks.

I also recently switched from fully writing out "featuring" to "feat." simply for aesthetic reasons I guess... I usually like writing out everything in full but lately it looks nicer to me.

Lady GaGa - Telephone (feat. Beyoncé)
Lady GaGa - Telephone (featuring Beyoncé)

Yes yes yes yes.

I thought I was the only one who was like this

This

For artwork, I use http://albumartexchange.com and always go with the 600x600 artwork. If there's no official artwork, I look for fanmade artwork or I make my own.

When do you guys use square brackets or how do you name remix files?

I have a file that I'm not happy with but I don't know how to properly name it.
Obsession (No Es Amor) (Luny Tunes Reggaeton Remix) [featuring Baby Bash]
Song Title (Annotation) (Title of Remix) [featured artist]

Help?

omg it's so weird that you'd bring this up. I've been super organizing EVERYTHING in my iTunes the past few days. I finally figured out how to add explicit tags. It's amazing. I love this. I'm organizing everything down to the year and stuff. Crazy.

Tell me how. I need to get rid of/add some tags.

Do share!

All this.

Plus I'm in the process of getting all my singles to be displayed as what their albums are.

How do you guys feel about remixes?

Britney Spears - Gimme More (Remix)
Britney Spears - Gimme More (feat. Lil Wayne)
Britney Spears - Gimme More (Remix) (feat. Lil Wayne)
Britney Spears - Gimme More (Remix) [feat. Lil Wayne]
Britney Spears - Gimme More (Remix feat. Lil Wayne)
Britney Spears - Gimme More [Remix] (feat. Lil Wayne)
Britney Spears - Gimme More (feat. Lil Wayne) (Remix)
Britney Spears - Gimme More (feat. Lil Wayne) [Remix]

I label remixes like that.

I do that one.

I have a Mac, so I use Subler.
I think AtomicParsely works for Windows, though.
EDIT: If y'all need help with this you can PM me

I also group singles under the whole album unless I only have one song from the album; however, I keep the single art (unless it's the first song on the album).
Like for the song "Hair" from Born This Way, The album it's listed under isn't "Hair - Single," it's "Born This Way." However, for Marry the Night (first song on the album), I keep the artwork for the album so it won't use the Marry the Night single art to represent the album in the little finder thing.

Also I ALWAYS have "(feat. x artist)". It's NEVER featuring or ft.

I do pretty much most of this

Exactly the same except for the Genre; don't really mind

I use albumartrexchange also

I also go like this for my songs:

Nobody's Business- Rihanna/Chris
Brown

S&M: Remix - Rihanna/Britney Spears

Diamonds: David Guetta Remix- Rihanna

This is how I would sort it:

Gimme More (Remix) Featuring Lil Wayne
Britney Spears
Gimme More: The Remixes
Pop
