    I just put all my files into folders by language. Everything else is done with the music player with any playlists exported to m3u.

    this is a real problem. one of the next projects is to build a scaner that will leverage the Shazam API to identify and sort all my loose music (about 300% of my collection). afterwards I’ll be using said project to identify ripped physical media from my massive 33/45/78 collections, some of which are local presses from almost 100 years ago that nobody has heard in decades.

    When I had albums the only one I cared about organizing was the one on the end that people could see. I always made sure it was something that showed how cool I was.

    I’ve used MediaMonkey for years and let it do most of the work. Mostly I focus on my playlists, like “Current Mindlist,” “Calm the Fuck Down,” and “You’re Gonna Get a Speeding Ticket.” I also do smart lists by artist, genre, or grouping tags. It’s worked really well for my 50k+ files on the computer side. Just need to find a good player for my iPhone so I can pass ratings back and forth along with changes to playlists made on the phone. I used Spotify for a decade or so and have enjoyed digging back into my old stuff.

    My files are either in folders by album or, for singles, by alphabetical folders using the artist’s name.

    No playlists needed.

    by preference of which albums and playlists go together, then within that… by alphabetical order.

      You need more music files, but I love the thumbholes in this to require less random access memory.

      musicbrainz picard to both standardize on metadata and save files in a ~Music/artist/album/01-songtitle.flac sorta scheme

    I don’t. Every album goes in the ~/Music folder. I don’t use playlists unless you count albums as playlists.

      While you are correct entirely I feel like subs can still work since we are subscribing to a community also helps make it generic been comma and mags on mbin etc.

        There’s apparently another site called Robbbit (or something like that and it’s run by a chap called Spaz; I think). A lot of people here are apparently familiar with it; but are not necessarily fans. Their communities are called “subrobbits” so on the fediverse people like to use community to distance themselves from that other place. Kinda makes sense.
