It looks like the last thread on organizing music is quite old.  That being the case, I thought I'd start a new one to share ideas on how people approach this.

At least for me, organizing my music into an easily-browsable format has been a perennial challenge.  Up until this point, I've spent an absurd amount of time trying different organizational structures, adding tags to support those structures, etc.  After my latest reorg, I've finally find something which is working well (so far).

To start, I'll mention that I'm using foobar2000 as my music player, which allows infinitely-complex structures.  As a result, something like this may not work in other players.

With that said, I'll first split on PUBLISHER: Nintendo, Konami, Square Enix, etc.  Usually when I start listening, I have an idea of what publisher I'm in the mood for.

Then, I'll split on the STYLE of music.  Minimally, the styles include: OST, OST Compilation (which has partial OSTs from several games), Arranged, Concert, Doujin.  Depending on the publisher, the styles may get more specific.  For example, because my Square Enix folder is extensive, I'll further include the styles Chiptune, Featured Song, Guitar, Sound Effect, SQ, and Vocal.

After that, for most styles, the next level simply lists the albums.  However, there are a few exceptions here.  For style Doujin, the next level is actually the Doujin artist, followed by the album list for each artist.  For style OST, it gets a little more complicated.

Specifically for OST, I prefer to see music organized by the name of individual games, rather than by the name of the album.  For example, if I'm looking for the SMB 3 OST, I'd rather not have to remember that it's on "Famicom Sound History Series: Mario the Music", starting from track 13.

As a result, my next level after style OST is GAME, then followed by album.  This means that, if an album contains full OSTs for multiple games, as in the "Mario the Music" example, it will actually be split up across lots of individual game folders.  In the SMB 3 case, clicking on "Mario the Music" only shows the songs from this album that are actually from SMB 3.

After album, I will sometimes have one more level.  Specifically, some albums have the OST from the same game on multiple platforms.  Gradius Ultimate Collection is probably the best example, which has the Gradius OST on 7 different platforms (Arcade, Famicom, X68000, etc.).  For these cases, I'll add an additional PLATFORM level, followed by the songs from each platform.

That is where I'm at for now; hopefully this keeps me happy for at least a little while.  That said, if I see what other have going on, I might be inclined to change things up

Okay...Here goes.

I realized a long time ago, I was severely disorganized with my digital music. I'd download or rip an album, throw the folder in a long list and this was okay for awhile. Then I started branching away from VGM for a time, so now I needed to separate it from the influx of new music. No problem. Then I separated the heavy metal from everything else to help myself out. Then I started buying and ripping lots of domestic CD's and before long, I was completely overwhelmed. This was around 2011 or so, but it was a progressive issue (though a high quality problem to have).

My problem was three-fold: How to organize the albums after the regular/VGM split, how to properly tag everything and how to notate my favorite tracks from each album.

-Organizing takes on a life of its own. What genre does stuff belong to? Is ACDC classic rock or metal? I group my VGM by game genre, so some of the obscure stuff is hard to label. It's a constantly changing thing. At the same time, I want to make sure my subgroups aren't too large in and of themselves, otherwise it just becomes a pain. I tried grouping by company and that was a complete and total failure.

So for right now, I have this for VGM as far as folders:

Arrange Albums

Symphonic/Piano/Acoustic Arrange Albums (mentally, I've always had these separated from the regular rock/synth based arranges, so the folder split works well)

Game and Anime Vocal Collections (for stuff like Tokimeki Memorial, Sakura Wars, Slayers, Ranma, etc...I don't own enough of them to justify separating game/anime)

RPG Soundtracks (no explanation needed, although I tend to put some action-RPG's like Zelda in the "general" folder. I also personally don't count visual novels as RPG's.)

Fighting, Shmup and Racing Soundtracks (usually these are all short and straightforward types of soundtracks and I don't have a lot of any of them...I used to have shmups and fighters separate and racing soundtracks lumped in with "regular" soundtracks)

Falcom Albums (I like to keep these separate for a number of reasons - the sheer overall quantity, the high number of arranges that clutter up the regular arrange album folder, the fact that I know most of these by heart and because a lot of them define what 'ideal' VGM is to me. In other words, they've earned their own folder)

Soundtracks - General (for platformers and games I can't figure out what they are or where they should go. If there's ANY debate, the soundtrack goes here)

Retro and Boxsets (Boxsets usually cover many individual soundtracks, so it is good to keep them split up. It's also for stuff like the Famicom releases, that cover a bunch of soundtracks on 1 or 2 discs. I finally decided it was best to just tag everything with the boxset or release name instead of creating subfolders and tags for EVERYTHING within the boxset)

And I separate regular music like this:

Classical (this doesn't grow too much, it's mostly Bach/Mozart/Hayden stuff. Otherwise, I could probably separate it farther)

Pop/Rock (the bulk of my 80's stuff goes in here...It also includes stuff like eurodance and eurodisco, as I don't have enough to separate it out. Also has soundtracks that are just collections of songs)

Classic Rock

Heavy Metal (there's constant debates between 'classic rock' and 'heavy metal', but I tend to put stuff from the 70's in the classic rock folder even though I consider them metal. Chances are, if I'm looking for a metal album to listen to, I'm not searching for a Led Zeppelin or Rush album)

Country/Folk/Contemporary Christian Music (not a lot, but some artists release SO MANY ALBUMS, this folder became necessary)

Jpop and Seiyuu (my collection of these has gone up substantially, since they're so cheap, so I decided to group them off from the Game/Anime stuff. This also includes stuff like X-Japan, Show-ya, Princess Princess, Personz, etc)

-Tagging/naming. I'm a fan of the "artist - album (year)" format for folders. Within a folder, I always do "101, 102, 103" and so on, as opposed to individual subfolders for multiple discs. Having the large list benefits me, especially when it comes to labeling my favorite tracks from a release (see next part) and the fewer subfolders, the better. I have enough albums to flip through, cutting down on the number subfolders is one of the strongest benefits of going digital. Choosing which album to listen to is often a pain, but then you get to choosing which DISC of an album to listen to.

My tagging of regular albums is pretty standard. If it's a multiple artists album, I'll add the artist in paranthisees after the track name. However, for VGM and the "Artist" field, I put "(Game)" after the composer's name. This is so when I load a bunch of music in, I can still search for game music if the genre option is not available, as well as by artist (so I can search by both "Yasunori Mitsuda" and "Game" if I want Chrono Cross in the current playlist, for example). VGM, especially albums with multiple artists, can often be a pain to tag and credit properly, so often I just get lazy with this. The fewer artist names in the overall database, the better. I'm more interested in "does it sound good" and "can I find the damn thing?"

-Labeling favorites. One of my favorite things about my old iPod and iTunes was the option to assign star ratings to your favorite tracks. Amazingly, none of the players I've used since then have this option. And let's face it: Not every track on every release is a winner.

At one point, I was just deleting stuff I didn't like and I figure whatever is left is good. Then stuff happened...My listening tastes changes, my sound setups changed, the price of memory dropped like a rock and I was left with incomplete albums I had foolishly gutted. And then there's just the fact that even the good stuff varies in quality.

So finally, I started marking the track names of my favorites with a "$" symbol before the track name. This doesn't screw with the tags, I don't have to delete tracks if I don't want to (I only do it on CD's I actually own, since I can just re-rip if needed), I can search by the "$" symbol in whatever software I use and when I sort by name, all of the "$" tracks appear first and the untagged stuff stays at the bottom (this is why I prefer having only a single subfolder for multiple discs within an album). All I can say is it has taken all of the guesswork out of managing close to 1500 different albums and finding the tracks I want from each.

And for the albums themselves, I sort them by how much I like them by putting a tag prior to the album name. Again, this groups everything together when I sort by name. So I use:

(HQP) - short for "high quality problem", usually these are my favorites with few or no tracks deleted or not-favorited

(4) - great albums, sometimes they need trimming of some filler or crappy tracks done. Hey, they can't all be favorites.

(5) - generally good albums with various issues (poor mastering, crappy singer, etc) or a crappy album with 1-2 must-have songs. Either way, a notch below the other two categories.

(g) - short for "gutted". Garbage, lucky if it has 1 or 2 tracks worth saving. Sometimes I'll delete these, but sometimes I'll leave them around as a reminder so I don't re-download or re-rip the CD again.

So my Dracula Battle Perfect Selection looks like this:

(HQP) Dracula Battle Perfect Selection
$01 - Beginning
$02 - Bloody Tears
$03 - Ripe Seeds
...and so on.

So if I came back to Dracula Battle six months later and somehow forgot what the best tracks were, I can look and see. Obviously for albums where the quality of tracks jumps around, this is useful to have.

Needless to say, now that I've gotten the hang of managing my digital collection, it is a lot of fun to play around with.

I used to have an incredible number of folders, arranged by company. Many of them only had a few albums. I started organizing by company when I first started collecting game music because I wasn't familiar with where the music was coming from. I continued to organize by company as my collection grew, simply out of habit, which is what led to the excessive number of folders.

Within the past few years, I decided to organize everything chronologically and to hell with who did what. I don't need to organize it by company or composer because I know who did what. A chronological organization helps me find interesting patterns that I wouldn't otherwise detect. Plus, it's really hard to memorize release dates. So a chronological organization is doubly justified.

A trend I detected recently was the quality of "tack-on" arrangements diminished with time. These four albums, Xexex, Salamander ~Again~, Contra Spirits and Axelay were all released in 1992 and in that order. I can't see that if they are in a folder titled "Konami", arranged alphabetically. Xexex has incredible arrangements, Salamander has decent arrangements and the last two are on par with the Super Famicom sound chip. I don't think that Contra and Axelay sold well because they weren't reprinted. They may be regarded as failures and may have led Konami to make efforts to improve their MIDI arrangements, which resulted in the MIDI Power Pro albums. This is speculation that comes solely from looking at things with respect to time.

Jodo, I know your collection is similar to mine and you seem to be running into the same headache I had. Try further splitting by game genre, like I did. It ends up balancing itself out. Konami is the other one I considered giving them their own separate folder, because of sheer quantity. However, they're far more balanced than Falcom (which is like 97% RPG's/Action RPG's)

I generally split my music among three classifications:

* Video Game Soundtrack
* Mainstream (anything that is or was popular in mainstream markets)
* Euro Metal (basically the stuff that isn't popular here but is over there)

However, two more sprout up every once in while

* Classical
* Movie Soundtrack

This works for me pretty well. Yes, the "mainstream" section is large... but I kind of hate trying to determine the damn genre for some albums. I really don't give a crap about being that descriptive with my genre tags.

This is what I use for vgm/doujins.

Root structure:

artists
circles
cd
download
new
tags
timeline

I have no real digital/download strategy yet because I don't really buy digital much.

When I rip a CD it is placed into /cd under its name.

A script is then run that reads the EAC rip log doing the following:
* Link to album in /new
* Links all track artists under /artists to the release under /cd. It also creates new artists in the same way if they do not exist.
* Links the release to the year under /timeline

Example: Ripping SaGa Frontier creates

/cd/SaGa Frontier Original Soundtrack
/artists/Kenji Ito/SaGa Frontier Original Sountrack
/timeline/1997/SaGa Frontier Original Sountrack

Since doujin circles work well for organizing I have a script that runs the above but creates an additional link under /circles to the release

I hate tags because no one is consistent. I only tag Album Name/Year, Track/Disc Number, TotalDiscs, Track Name and Artist the bare minimum that usually will work in any piece of software/hardware.

I use /tags for what most people might their file tags for. Inside are two folders /by-album and /by-track. From there you get a list of whatever labels I have tagged to everything in my collection. So I can do something like /tags/by-album/SaGa and get every album related to SaGa in one folder. If I did that by-track I just get one folder filled with all the files instead of organized by album.

This is a terrible setup has become unwieldy over the years and I'm looking to move to a database solution instead. Problem is I've never found a media manager I like so I may just build something lite when I get ambitious.

I have 5205 albums in a /scene folder for mostly mainstream stuff.
I have 1729 albums in a /vgm folder for #gamemp3s stuff
I have 459 albums in a /flac folder for stuff I've ripped to flac myself, all anime/game.
And I have about 27 albums in a /flac/_us folder for stuff I've ripped myself that's mainstream/US music.

Advanced organization schemes are just a waste of time.  I know what I want to listen to and I know where it is, I click one folder and type the name of the artist or album and then open that folder and play the playlist.  Organizing stuff by year, genre, artist then album, etc are all wastes of time and add extra clicks to get to what I want to get to and add extra layers of confusion to trying to find something.  Do I really care what year something was released?  Am I really going to remember?  What do I do when you have a multi-artist album?  Unnecessary complexity for the sake of "organization" is just silly.  If you want better organization, use software organization tools like iTunes libraries and things like that, where you can search your archives and tags for what you want and it doe'n't matter where they are physically located.

I just organize it exactly like I organize the CDs they stem from.
Base DIR by genre. In the case of games, another DIR for series, then each album of a series in that DIR. A few compilations in another DIR.
Albums are titled what ever the closest I can get to the official name is, or barring that (usually with classical stuff) what the front cover and/or spine says.
So the example of Saga Frontier is:
CD Archive\02 Game\01 Series\SaGa\SaGa Frontier Original Sound Track
Very easy to find.

Other genres are 01 Classical, 03 Anime, 04 Movie, 05 TV, 06 Misc, 07 Other
Misc is soundtracks that don't fit into the above, such as theme parks and trailers  Other is mostly jazz though there's a few stuff that could be more properly be called 'worldbeat' or klezmer or even new age.
I never understood people who do it by year, or even worse, do it by record label and even name their album DIRs with the catalog number in front.

I had never considered that. Compilation, or omnibus, albums would bother me. There are many albums that have songs from different games, in different genres. I'd have to make something like an "other" folder, which I had with the company organization. It always bothered me.

Currently, my albums are all in the music folder and not subdivided into other folders. I modified the way I type album names in order to achieve the chronological organization.

The first few look like this:

[1987-07-05] ALL OVER XANADU {BY30-5170}
[1988-04-21] SORCERIAN SUPER ARRANGE VERSION {K32X-7123}
[1989-12-15] SWEET HOME {PCCB-00016}

I've only ripped about 300 of my albums to wav, so I have a lot of work to do yet. How do I pick a specific album? I have to know the year, or come close. I'm getting to close to having all the years in which albums were released memorized, which is very important to me. I haven't yet tried to memorize the months and days, though. That's for later.

I had considered organizing by catalog numbers, which I do study, by the way, but some of those are pretty gnarly or don't even exist. Every album has a release date.

I also try to avoid ever using an "other" folder.  While sometimes convenient to keep things looking neat, I never actually look in there - and so any album in "other" is guaranteed to never get a listen.

I agree that tags and organizational software is more flexible than organizing the actual files themselves.  Though even with tags, the question of what structure to use (genre, subgenre, publisher, album artist, series, game) remains

I do envy the folks who know exactly what they want to listen to, without having to browse a little.  If that were me, I'd just type the album name I want, play it, and be done.

Yeah, same. I keep forgetting all the cool stuff I have, so my method is geared more towards creating a decent random playlist on the fly. Throw a handful of albums in (or an entire folder, if I desire), filter by "$" and off to music-land I go! The only time I listen to individual albums is when I'm doing the initial listen/ratings.

That's why god invented Random.org

It's a lot easier to know what you want to listen to if you just listen to your most recent things.  Everyone in this thread probably has thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of hours of music.  It's unrealistic to expect to be able to scratch even the surface of that.  So I just listen to what I have most recently bought / downloaded, and then if I really like it I will end up going back to it in periods of time where I don't have anything new to listen to or I'm not satisfied with current new things I have bought or downloaded.  It is much, much simpler than trying to listen everything.  I don't think any of us can do that.

Yeah, I've been tempted to ask how people manage to handle the "too much music" problem.

If I get something that is high on my want list, it jumps right to the front of the line, but at this point there isn't too much like that now. So I kind of end up binging on potentially good (or at least very cheap) stuff when it becomes available, and then not having the time to listen to what I buy/download before I get more. Again, high quality problem to have. But there are only so many hours in the day and only so many that can be spent on each individual hobby. I'm sure anyone who's amassed a backlog of games can attest to that. Also, VGM, by its' very nature of multi-disc releases and high number of tracks per disc, can be exhausting too. At least with pop or metal CD's, you know you only have 10-12 tracks to usually deal with and 3-4 of them are usually skippable filler. So I can burn through a large number of them in a short period of time now.

I guess I think back to when I was making $100 a week and constantly scouring over VGM albums at $30-$35 apiece and just thinking I wanted to hear all of them and feeling so limited at my lack of resources. It's like, now the shackles are off and it's time to indulge.

Funny you mention this because it kind of relates to something I've been thinking about lately.

Many popular albums of the mid 90's are now celebrating their 20/25th anniversaries and are releasing "deluxe editions" with tons of extras. Am I the only one that actively seeks out the original pressings just to avoid these extras that are usually pointless? I know I can sort out what plays and what doesn't in my media player... but I guess I just hate clutter...?

Additionally, am I the only one that getting sick of "remasters" that really don't enhance the experience? Don't see the point of remastering if the original production values are already gravy.

It took me a little more effort to track down the new copies 2002 re-issue of Ozzmosis (which is kind of understandable) and the 1994 press of Superunknown.

Edit:

Also, why do I need to buy a million George Jones albums to get all the songs I want? I know they're rather inexpensive... but grrr...

Also, is it weird that I bought a George Jones and Slipknot album at the same time? I'm probably overthinking this...

Most of those types of CD's, I can find the original prints for $3-$4 apiece or in a bundle. I think I assembled an entire Billy Joel collection for under $50, aside from 1-2 albums.

Remasters are simply a way to boost album sales for something that already used up its sales-life a long time ago. But hey, if I like the artist, more power to them.

Here's how things are cataloged on my MP3 player:

11-00
11-06
11-12
14-00
14-06
14-12
15-00
21
22
23
24
25

Makes total sense, right?

I'm going to have to reformat this thing, it's completely buggered.

When it comes to Billy Joel I nabbed the GH Vol 1 & 2 combo as that's what I had on tape growing up. I'm probably missing a lot of good songs... but I like nearly everything that comes up to bat on this comp.

I'm more of an album listener, preferring to listen through entire releases and immerse myself in one paradigm/project at a time, rather than doing playlists. As such, as long as my collection is tagged with artist and album I don't have a problem browsing. I typically get a desire to hear something, then it's a case of Artist > Album > play. Any albums by multiple artists get tagged with the game developer name instead and this seems to work.

You know, I'd like to think I'm an "album listener" but in reality I really not. I probably have more in common with Goldfish in that I just want my favorite tracks at my finger tips and little else.

However, in purchasing CD/albums I'm trying to obtain albums where I like the overwhelming majority of the material. I'm trying to avoid discs with only one or two good songs on them.

I just like to always think I'm better at assembling Greatest Hits collections than the "official" ones that get released. In order to do that, I need all of the albums, so I can get all the best tracks. It helps feed my OCD, as well as my distrust in the people making their selections.

If Billy Joel albums weren't so damn cheap, I'd have been perfectly happy with the GH 1 and 2 set. As long as I'm covered on Pianoman and The Entertainer, it's all good.

Ahem...iTunes? (...takes a pause as if I said something obvious and brilliant...)

I've long held a notion of 'don't fight it' with iTunes and Apple in general. It's getting tougher each update to iTunes to support.

What in the world is going on with the push to Streaming? It's a complimentary service. NOT a replacement for basic music playback.  And yet by design, this basic functionality has been hindered, even on iOS playback.  There are now 3 or 4 added steps just to play music you have on your device.  I wager Apple's actions taken on recent updates which highlight it's Apple Music service, and handicaps personal music playing, may be a factor in an increase of auto-accidents for folks futsing with with their mobile device while driving.  I know I had to 'check myself' before I realized what was happening.

Anyway - minor rant over, it's just a shame. 

I've been tagging my MP3s with artist where possible (For entire albums) and album title.  For compilations, I'll title the album compilation.  Per track artist tagging is helpful, but definitely cumbersome. I think that's the best I can do. Any extensive categorization/classification becomes very cumbersome for me.  But good tagging capabilities on the file level should always be useful. I always use "Tag & Rename" prior to putting anything into iTunes (for non iTunes purchases anyway).  Then I can search and pull back related entries into a personal playlist. 

I agree with AW - I am sometimes an album listener, but usually I'm not.  And while every once in awhile there is an album that is worthy of a full listen, I tend to follow my mood, or intent (rock out, relax, be productive, etc)  FYI Streaming VGM (instrumental) is my productivity music. (go figure! heh)

So yeah, I still use iTunes.

Has iTunes added FLAC support? That was an important factor for me. I know it has ALAC, but I need FLAC.

My other problem with iTunes is I didn't think it sounded anywhere near as good as JRiver when used as a straight media player from my computer. The options were pitiful in comparison.

Also, the new ("new" as in since 2010 or so) layout confuses the hell out of me. I find it very un-user friendly. I tried to help my mom sync her playlists and it was just a huge mess. Once I entered the world of drag-and-drop, I haven't looked back.

Streaming is probably good for people that don't obsess over their libraries and want to listen to new stuff. I prefer Youtubing for bands/artists I get referred to and then picking up the album, as a way of discovering new music. Some of my friends like Spotify, but the limitations totally defeat the purpose to me. If I punch in Iron Maiden, I want Iron f---ing Maiden. Not Slipknot. Not Disturbed. Not Lady Gaga (no really, I like Lady Gaga...but NOT when I search for Iron Maiden!)

I've been picking up some older country albums lately.

I'm not really big on country... but I tend to enjoy stuff from the late eighties/early nineties.

Speaking of country, does anyone remember an artist by the name of K.T. Oslin?

She was pretty big for a few years and then just disappeared.

I have a couple staple country/countrypop artists:

Faith Hill
Martina McBride
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Suzy Bogguss
Marie Osmond
Patty Loveless
Nancy Griffith
Band Perry
Kathy Mattea
Stephanie Bentley (one album, but a really good one!)

I have one KT Oslin album sitting around (This Woman)...Probably have had it for years. These things are easy to find in bulk, so that's probably where I got it.

I feel like I basically ran out of good female pop singers from the 80's/early 90's, so going over to the country stuff wasn't too much of a stretch. A lot of them pumped albums out like they were going out of style in that time period and even well into the 2000's.

Have you checked out:

Dolores O'Riordan (The Cranberries)
Natalie Merchant (ex-10,000 Maniacs)

The Cranberries had two big albums in the mid-nineties (I'm sure you'd know the songs if you heard them) and the MTV unplugged CD of 10,000 Maniacs w/Merchant is great.
