Why? You can have it ignore the 'the' so Rolling Stones shows up under 'R' instead of "T"

I dont want to believe it but I know its true
sometimes in library threads I feel literally physically sick
a well organized library is a happy one
STILL waiting for ipod/sansa to show the year info for albums..
You cannot have album art on flacs, can you?

who told you you couldn't?

Are you admitting to either being intensely autistic or having a tiny music collection right now?
>>54921957
You can indeed. Use MP3Tag or Foobar's tag plugin.
>>54921851
How?
>>54922059
>Rock
>Pop
>Jazz
>thinking these are acceptable and specific genres
nice job playing the autistic card m8
>download torrent of over 1000 songs
>in one folder
>not organized at all
>>54922120
There's usually a "Sort Name" or "Sort Artist" field in the metadata.
>>54922124
Why not just leave them as they are, know what genres they are personally, and not re-tag the genres on hundreds of thousands of songs?
What happens when the genre of an album changes between songs?
>>54921743
>There are people right now who download all their music from sites like youtube2mp3 and put all those files in one folder, which is then filled with countless of youtube rips of singles without any tags
>>54921951
>says complete discography
>2 albums missing
>no live albums
>>54922022
Thats the way the torrent was. If I rename the structure, it thinks the files are gone and re-downloads them. its a PITA
>>54922120
Sort Artist for me anyway
And sometimes when it sorts Albums by ABC instead of year i can pop in "1967 Sgt Pepper" into the Sort Album field so everything is in line.
>>54921743
Youd be surprised how itunes fucks with the sorting of songs within the same album . Even after matching eaches tags sometimes it just doesn't work.
>>54921951
>Led Zepplin > Led Zeppelin - Complete Discography > ---------Studio Albums----------
this is not well-organized
the albums should just be in the main Led Zeppelin folder
>>54922022

>>54922022
>not removing the years
wtf, are you sorting your albums alphabetically and not chronologically?
>>54922397
do you say to people when they ask if you like Led Zeppelin, "They're pretty good. 1973 Houses of the Holy is great."
>>54922295
He's in the folder "studio albums"
Although he is missing some of those
How big is your folder?
This is about 5 years worth of music. It feels impossibly huge, yet it's so far from hitting 1 TB that I can't imagine ever hitting it unless I become an FLACfag or something.
>>54921743
you are literally me
>>54922455
my bad, missed that
still no In Through The Out Door and Coda
>>54922022
>>54922453
holy shit man you must be retarded
>there are people who still use torrents
I remember back in the day, when someone would let me check out their mp3 player
>Woah you have THIS artist/album?
>1 song
>[radio edit]
>no album art
>>54922251
STOP
I'm about 80Gb too late, but I've started formatting files properly before adding them to my actual library.
What can speed up the rest? I haven't tried MP3tag, but isn't there also software out there that also cleans up the actual folders?
>>54922528
You can arrange them chronologically without having the year in the folder name, provided your music is properly tagged. With Windows, right click > sort by > check Year at the very bottom.
>>54922604
*sort by > More > Year
i use spotify
>Artist/band name folder
>Album folder in [date] [artist] - [album] format
>tracks in [0X] [track name] format
>tagged with perfectly square album art and no unnecessary disk # or album artist fields
Anything other than this is objectively wrong and you should be ashamed.
no need to organize when you dont pirate
>>54922684
>500x500 px art
>tfw using iTunes
>tfw don't worry about naming tracks/album/genre/artwork because I always get most info needed off iTunes Store
>tfw everything is neat
You faggots better start using iTunes.
I'm having problems with Rhthmbox on Linux. I can't get it to sync my Album Art to my iPod. Wat do?
This is how you organize a music folder
Music -> [Letter] -> [Artist] -> [Year - Album]
Everything tagged properly and album art in folder
>>54922719
>wikipedia album art
>>54922744
>[Letter]
Why?
Also, what about split EP's and compilations?
>>54922731
But anon why would I willingly install malware on my personal computer?
>>54921743
My album art is sub par. Sometimes I'll do a few of them but the thing is that iTunes won't do them automatically for me but it's too much effort to do it manually.
>>54922684
almost.
it's [artist]/[[date]] [album] for the folder. but i'll let it slip for now
>>54922711
>implying
>>54922761
>not getting your album covers off last.fm
>almost always good quality and at least 500x500
>>54922774
I use letters because it gets too cluttered otherwise.
I treat splits like a new artist.
Compilations go in a separate folder.
I've had some of my stuff for forever and some of it has no art. I try to keep new downloads with art but generally only do it for extremely old stuff when I listen to it.
I make sure I don't have any repeated artists and have a code in Foobar to move "the" to the end of artist names after a comma.
I also label all my stuff by country of origin because sometimes I find it useful to sort that way. Took quite a while to do when I initially decided to do it.
>>54922827
you're fucking retarded
>>54922731
itunes is a bloated piece of shit that is inconvenient in almost every way.
>>54922800
>malware
stop being paranoid. there isn't literally anything wrong with iTunes:
>organises music by itself (unified folder, organised)
>got most of the tag information you need
>neat artworks downloaded with a click
>syncs ipod like a charm
better believe it
>>54922813
>not getting your album art from album art exchange for that glorious 1000x1000 px art

HUh? Who cares?

muh contrarian thought. fuck off m8.
>>54922946
People looking for their music on Slsk you numpty.
>>54922897
>>54922980
Are you seriously defending itunes? Literally any other music player is better.
>>54922897
He just said it was bloated and inconvenient. It works slow as hell (takes ages to open, changing albums takes decades) constantly has iTunes in your face, can't customize the look, you have to convert your FLAC into shitty proprietary file formats. I have no clue why someone would use it when other options exist.
>>54921743
>there are people who leave their album art dank
>>54921743
I do but some reason sometmes it won't let me organize the albums.
>>54923068
>slow as hell
not anymore though, the newer versions are great unless you have a 90s computer
>can't customize the look
>MUH CUSTOMIZATIONS
you have to convert your flac
>flac
>>54923139
>iTunes is bad at thing
>doing said thing
>>54923139
I have the latest version, I have it open right now. I still get massive slowdowns when doing something like scrolling through albums or changing them. This is all on my desktop.
It isn't just customization, other music players come with loads of features that make things much better, like auto tags, being able to tag albums are more than one genre, and lyrics are some basics more other players have down without being massively slow.
Are you really defending proprietary music file formats?
Artist
Year - Album
01 - Track Name
cover
>>54921743
>right now if you left your basement there would be 7 billion other unique individuals.
Is there any program to automatically fetch album art without any input from me? Right now I just use the foobar plugin that fetches art from last.fm, but I'd rather have it saved permanently.
>>54922334
then it's usually something under the sorting tab
Rec me an audio player guys. I don't really fuck around with flac and I didn't really get on with MusicBee or whatever it's called
>>54923577
just use wmp
