Rockbox General > Rockbox General Discussion
How do you have your rockbox music library set up / organized?
LambdaCalculus:
There's no right or wrong with Rockbox. As long as there's music on your player, it's all good. ;)
bascule:
Mine's very flat. In my 'Audio' folder I have:
ArtistName-AlbumName / ##-TrackName
And in a podcast folder I just have a bunch of un-listened-to podcasts and radio rips. As I listen to them, they get deleted...
NorTheBear:
About one year ago I changed my entire structure
from 3 levels
ArtistName / AlbumName / ## TrackName
down to 2 levels (like bascule)
ArtistName - AlbumName / ## TrackName
taking the fact into account that I seldom own more than one album of the same music formation.
I found that especially Jazz albums and Classic albums are very hard to categorize anyway.
Jazz musicians tend to play in different formations, so who shall be named first given the fact that the musicians are on a par?
With classic music it is sometimes not easy to decide if you want to have the files sorted after the the composer (say Bach) or the interpreter (say Glenn Gould).
Daveybaby:
The genre tag can be very useful, particularly because it's so personal what you call something. You dont have to conform to any rules, just tag the music in a way that means something to you.
I use it to group music so that i dont have to faff around generating playlists etc. If i want to listen to a random selection of (say) chill out music i can browse to that genre and then play all the tracks in that genre (randomised of course).
Doing this by genre beats playlists hands-down IMO because as you add and remove tracks from your player youre going to have to update your playlists to handle that, but if you tag your music by genre then no need to bother.
Sherv:
Man, getting a consistent list of genres down is impossible for me :(
Sure, it's easy distinguish between ska and punk, but some bands tread right in between...
Then with electronic music, I still don't know the difference between house or D&B or trance or IDM...so I tried to tag some spastic Autechre songs with "Acid" and more mellow Amon Tobin tracks with "D&B" but then I ended up with something like 50 genres!
