MP3 File Names

So what format do you like your file names?

For individual artist albums, I prefer Artist - Album - Track - Title.mp3
For compilation/VA albums, I prefer Album - Track - Artist - Title.mp3

I don't bother. It makes my friends sick.

Date Modified is king.

I'm with V. Keeping organization simple and easy to use quickly makes things move more efficiently

Honestly, I purchased 85% of my music and ripped the CDs myself...I used to work at a record shop and got a damn good discount.

I'm glad to see Mega is a Young Maylay fan.

Before I used uTorrent I downloaded all the music individually, so I never kept them organized, but since then I download by album instead of by tracks, so now I follow the Artist/Album/Tracks format.

I just use Windows Media Player, which keeps everything organized enough as it is.

I'm all about the iTunes, which organizes itself for the most part. Most of the MP3s I download have fucked-up song titles or a missing artist field, so I'll fill in whatever info is missing. I also hate misidentified songs/artists (eg. "Better Days" being credited to Sublime instead of Citizen King), so somtimes I'll do a quick Wiki lookup to make sure the artist/song is correct. I'm a little OCD about my music.

I need no recordings. The memories suffice.
