How do you have your rockbox music library set up / organized?

kyin01:
Are you a '1 big folder' or a super neat freak and have a system of folders?




For me, I have it folders by genre, but very general genre. Like for example a Rock folder and all kinds of rock goes into that folder. From metal rock to indie rock. And so on, but than i find some songs that are completely in between 2 genre so this system isn't working out.
So instead I have this new set up with 4 Folders (followed by subfolders)
-Alpha (Folders A-Z each artist alphabetized going in their correct folder)
-NOW (new songs i want to listen to that I will sort when it gets old)
-Soundtrack (soundtrack folder)
-Compilations (a folder for artist where I only have a few songs and too little to put in my alpha folder)



What's your set up?

karashata:
I have mine sorted either by artist, then album (in the case of "normal" music), or by game series, then each game in that series (in the case of all my game soundtracks).

My filing system isn't exactly consistent, but it's organized how I like it and how I can find everything and keep related things together.

Chronon:
With a couple of exceptions (like compilations and video game music) I use this structure:


* Audio

* Audiobooks

* *author* - *book title*/filename
* Comedy

* *artist*/[*year*] - *album*/*disk #**track #* - *title*
* Music

* *artist*/[*year*] - *album*/*disk #**track #* - *title*

cool_walking_:
Similar to the others, I use <artist>/<year> <album>/<track> - <title>.<ext>, with mostly inconsistent exceptions for comedy/audiobooks/soundtracks.

*Years* ago I used to have 1 big folder populated by the single tracks, but once you pass the 1000 song mark, it becomes apparent that something better is needed.  Now I mostly have full albums, and with over 600 artists, organisation is pretty important.  I could still do it better though >_>

ThaCrip:
well i have mine setup like this...

in root of my Sansa e250 i have a folder called 'OGG Music' which contains ALL my music which has folders for each artist and the name of that particular album.

plus i use a free application called 'Mp3Tag' to label (basically change the tag data so it appears proper in Rockbox ;) ) all my songs (.ogg files) by artist/year/cd name etc etc ... so it stays professional ;)

and in general when playing my music i usually use the 'database' > 'artist' and then select whatever artist i want to listen to at that time.
