I just put all my files into folders by language. Everything else is done with the music player with any playlists exported to m3u.
How I keep my physical music files.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 do playlists at all with my own media files tho
I don’t. Every album goes in the
~/Musicfolder. I don’t use playlists unless you count albums as playlists.Um, do you mean discs and albums? Because that’s physical media.
Anything else is bits.
Disc content is bits.
Bits and bots in rust that rots, key of G sharp
I didn’t think OP meant physical.
Do they mean ‘physical’ for ‘stored in own storage’, instead of cloud?
They might but pretty sure that’s wrong.
Alphabetic by artist/band name and then chronological.
FYI, on Lemmy, we don’t have “subs”— we have communities or “comms”
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.
Oh come on.

I though c stood for channels.
I assume you mean digital files. I keep them all lumped together in a folder. I only have around 1,300 songs, since I only download the specific songs I’m looking for and not entire albums.
I organize my playlist by mood or use. “Working” is high bpm and general upbeat motivating things, “Singing” is things my middle aged ass sings along with when drunk or otherwise chemically enhanced, “Sadness” is the most soul crushingly painful songs that have lyrics I directly relate to, “Sexy time” is for when your mom or anyone else here’s mom visits… the usual.
Same here, except I don’t use playlists. If I want to see everything by album, most music players can do that by reading the metadata.
Files are in a Artist/Album structure, but it’s handled by a media library, so I can sort/filter/group them however I want.
Very old school, directories for albums. Filenames begin with 01-, 02-, etc so they play in the right order. “Playlists” lol. A few shell scripts to play specific albums maybe with a volume adjustment.
Like a physical file for keeping sheet music in?
I have a quite large music library.
General music folder is organized by artist name, alphabetically.
Within each artist folder I organize albuns by year.
Each track is numbered in the file name itself.
Extra data goes into the file tag, readable by my music player.
Don’t really do playlists but i have Genres, They are then split into bands, Which are the split into albums.
My system used to always be a music folder full of album subfolders named like artistName - year - albumName. I did so much manual work to make that happen and then Spotify came along. I mostly neglected my collection for a decade, only adding to it occasionally. When Spotify aligned themselves with Nazis I cancelled my subscription and started about hosting my own collection with Plex for streaming. I had let my organization system go to shit and now I’ve got a mess.
I’m currently working on a script that will identify naming convention issues and eventually spit out a list of commands for renaming/moving folders. I also want the script to identify metadata issues, dupes, and missing tracks. I know there are a lot of tools that do a lot of this already, but I don’t like any of them I’ve found so far. I especially don’t like the idea of an opinionated tool redoing my library by making destructive writes, thousands of files/folders at a time, without me approving changes first. A lot of them work that way.
