there’s just a big folder called mixes on my computer and ipod, unless there’s a few by the same artist then it just gets it’s own thingy. cba to fuck around with organising everything right.

hahh! you’re welcome to organise them all for me.

ooohhh, well. by genre, its hard. Generally because lets say….Umek, he DJs tech house…But, he also does old skool techno, if one of his mix’s is a cross over, i just literally put: tech house/old skool tek as the genre. its annoying but i find it works.

if you use windows media player, like i do, there should be an option to incluse sub-genre as well, so, in theory, you can have an acid tek folder, but as well it has HARD acid tek in as well

I’ve literally got about 200-300 music folders, totalling near to 6000 tracks. so that’s a wee bit easy for me! lol

I don’t it is utter chaos

e.g.

breaks/breakcore/venetian snares/infolepsy/01 – americanized.mp3
psychedelic/psychill/shpongle/tales of the inexpressible/01 – dorset perception.mp3

I’ll split an album in half if i have to, to stick to the genre scheme. This allows me to stick on ‘all my breakbeat’ or ‘all my breakcore’ without needing to mess around with multiple genere tags which are ultimately less flexible

Also I rate every track so I can put on the very best of, or everything above 3 stars, or whatever depending on the circumstances.

This format is completely incompatible with iTunes that does not let you browse by folder, piece of shit software that it is. Mediamonkey for the win!!!

same, this is exactly how my hoard is organised. i find rating it a very helpful but also, a bit annoying, like, if i hear a song for the first time, and i don’t really like it i’ll rate low, but if i hear it again like 4 months down the line i might like it, but then i’ll have to find it. Chances are i don’t remember the name of the track

heh yeah ratings change all the time, its more a way of filtering out all the shit. should probably just delete it really 😉
