MOG

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.

Bless you Dd, this is just a laptop and mom makes it look a lot neater than it is....it's all those single tracks from various artists that come from only God knows where...!#?

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

So far the majority is neat and tidy, that makes me feel worse.... :(

uh, QC ?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Seems just about everybody uses I-tunes, I have it but never got used to using it,....I reckon the day has come...

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! :)

AJ -

I DO NOT even know where to start - lol - I know where everything might be...consider it my contribution to free-form jazz...but that book looks intriguing B - Yo - Bobbo

Interesting it may be, but it sure isn't gonna get read by me!

nor me

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. :)

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

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.

Why don't you publish a guide for us, Pimp? I need it.

SUCH AS? i mean i just have my files set up a certain way and in folders by artist then i have a program find the correct info for that particular album e-mail me if you want specifics

Or visit him, he could use the company to help keep his "files" in order....
