I keep it simple:
- Name of the song (I don't follow the capitalization rules and I keep the subtitles)
- Singer
- Album (no Deluxe Edition/Platinum Edition/Single/Ep crap)
- Year (of the standard release)
- No explicit tags (but I prefer the explicit version of the song)
- No featuring/duet tags
- No stars/love rating
- I use the standard cover except when deluxe represents the album better/the standard is really ugly
- All songs of the era goes inside the album after the standard/original tracklist: bsides, bonus tracks, deluxe tracks, japan bonus tracks, remixes, acoustics etc
- I don't change the order of the songs in the standard and deluxe tracklist
- Always the full standard album, I don't delete songs in the album
- For the cover I use PNG 500x500 (old last.fm pattern)
- For the songs I use ALAC and AAC 256 for iTunes exclusives/songs that aren't released in lossless
