My Library is a Mess

Posted over 3 years ago
I go to download a couple of more CDs from my collection and realize how much of a mess this Library is in. I knew it all along but have just been trying my damnest to ignore it.... God, it's tough being naked, it's all your fault Mog, for revealing us to the world....How many Moggers out there have a neat and tidy Library, or who gets voted the messiest Mogger?(and pass me a fig leaf would you?)

  2. Dave says When my library started to grow, I took it on myself to spend a chunk of time getting it straight, and I QC everything that goes in to make sure all the tags are clean & proper. It's worth it, otherwise I'd never find anything.

  5. Takeshi Kovacs says I can't find my library to see if it's messy or not. But if memory serve, it's a mess!

  8. DUSTdevils says those single songs can sometimes be more lovely, until they find a home...

  9. Dave says QC = Quality Control! I have a custom playlist setup that I drag all new tracks into. That way they don't get lost if their tags are incorrect or missing. They're automatically added to the library and I can make sure they're all Kosher that way easily.

  10. B42 says Dave - Cool, that makes so much sense. Part of my problem is I've used musicmatch for the ondemand feature, sweet but far from tidy, (and buggy), knowing that someday I would get a storage file system but don't like what I see in Apple or WM, really looking for options I guess. Thanks.

  11. ivylander says My on-line library's in OK shape, my physical music library less so. I've been transferring CDs to iTunes and leaving them all over the joint. So on Saturday I finally bit the bullet and put them back in order. All now neatly alphabetized and broken down into the proper categories (rock, salsa, Brazlian, etc.). Took a little over three hours. I slept like a rock Saturay night.

  12. chucky says If it makes you feel any better at all - I don't even pay attention to my on-line library or how mog tagged them. My whole library could be wrong and I wouldn't even know.

  14. lemontwist says Oh, I really ought to make a QC folder. My tunes are all nice and tagged here on my laptop, but are quite a mess on my main computer thanks to all the MOG suggestions I've been downloading and importing like a crazy mofo lately. My obsessive compulsive nature will eventually drive me to fix everything neat and tidy, though. Mmm... I love to organize! :)

  19. lemontwist says Hahaha, you know, Chris always jokes that if I can't find a job in engineering, I could go into business being a professional organizer. :)

  20. B42 says I would think engineering would be more fulfilling, unless of course you made a TV show - " AJs' Get Organized with a Twist ", brought to you by the good folks at Mog.com where all your music fantasies become a reality

  21. ROCKNROLLPIMP1 says i am obsessive compulsive about my digital music library. the reason i do not post or comment MORE, is because that time is spend tagging, arranging, and fixing my library.
