I am finishing JukeboxFX up and have a questions for those who have mp3 collections. How do you organize your collection? I have about 6000 mp3s myself and have organized mine by artist then album.
So I might have a directory called U2 then under the U2 directory I have another directory for each album names. Then the actual MP3s under that. It would look like this.
U2
...Boy
......song.mp3
......song.mp3
......song.mp3
...... and so on...
...Joshua Tree
......song.mp3
......song.mp3
......song.mp3
...... and so on...
...Achtung Baby
......song.mp3
......song.mp3
......song.mp3
...... and so on...
If you have a decent collection how do you organize them. I some people who do not have a very large collection just put them in one directory. If you might be interested in JukeboxFX please let me know how many mp3s you have and how you have them organized if you have a few seconds. I would appreciate it.

I am looking for how they are physically saved on your HD now how they are sorted by another application. So how do save them when you download them?

I have close to 40 gigs (need another hd). I use pretty much the same dir structure as you. Example:
Tunes
...artist
......album
.........artist - title.mp3
.........album.m3u
a couple of exeptions are soundtracks and compilation albums. If I only want a couple of songs off the disc they are usually put into the artist's dir
Tunes
...artist
......artist - title.mp3
I also have a few other dirs for other styles (broken down similarly) and also a dir with m3u playlists.
E:\
...Ambient
...Classical
...Comedy
...OC ReMix
...Playlists
...Tunes
...Video Game OSTs - note ...\game\game - title.mp3
I can't wait to try out JukeboxFX! Thanks for all your hard work.

i just throw all my MP3s in the same directory. i let the program(music match, windows media player) organize the MP3s for listing. i only have around 250 though
-
I have all MP3's in style directories, so I have a POP directory, 80's directory, Rock directory....
All MP3's are named as: artist - song name.mp3, now all my MP3's have ID3v1 and ID3v2 Tags filled, so any MP3 program that I use can sort them by artist, album, more specific style of music or whatever!
The style directories where added later because they were easier to find when I wanted to make a CD for use in my car or whatever. Before that I had some 2000 MP3s in the same directory.

ditto i have several gigs of music so i have about 10 categories and within that i have them seperated by artist and again by cd

In Classical, there is not just the usual matter of sorting by artist and title. Any serious appreciator of this genre has to deal with:
- solo artist
- solo artist's instrument
- chamber group, if applicable
- orchestra, if applicable (either alone or to accompany soloist)
- conductor, if orchestra in effect
- composer
- name of parent work (opera, suite, sonata, concerto etc.)
- name and number of next sub-division (act, movement)
- name of next sub-division (scene, aria, variation)
So, as you can see, certain types of music just don't lend themselves well to the usual limits of ID tags. ::)
Yes, there are a select few who are depraved enough to put Wagner's Ring Cycle on their MP3 jukebox. I'm not quite at that point, but one can never tell... ;D

All your answers are probably here..
but I copy them all in one directory. I also delete them constantly also it changes daily.
I will wake up thinking of a song (recently scooby snacks). Think I have to get it. Download it, play it to many times for a week, then, when I need some space for the next mame version, there it goes
I need a larger harddrive... 30gig just isn't enough
