[QUOTE="tomtom21000, post: 87807, member: 10287"] I´ve invested 100+ hours now to broaden my music collection and tag them properly. But I am unsure on how I should finally store them on the harddrive. At the moment I have +/- 5,000 songs. I concentrated on the tags Artist, Album, Title, track, year and embedded cover-art. Paid little attention to genre so far. I have ripped a couple of my full album CD´s. But also a lot of my own best of compilations. I have tried to tag them all back to the original album on which the song first appeared. The result is, that the album view is of little relevance for me, because for most albums in the list, there are only one or two songs of the album. The database views like artist, title, year are very good. ----------------- Now, if I sort on HD like artist - title this would be great on one the hand, because one problem i am getting to now, is duplicates. But this would do basically the same as the (database) artist view, which i configured artist A-Z - title (without album). Drawback is, that if I want to listen to chart titles from 2006, this is not possible this way. If I want some techno, the same. -> I use scrobble a lot which solves this. -> I could go through all the genre tags And should I sort the full albums this way, too? Or arrange them like 60´s, 70´s, 80´s, ... Or Oldies, Rock. Charts ... ------------------ What´s your tip for arranging the songs?
