I didn’t think OP meant physical.
My files are either in folders by album or, for singles, by alphabetical folders using the artist’s name.
No playlists needed.
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.
by preference of which albums and playlists go together, then within that… by alphabetical order.
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
Picard musicbrainz + jellyfin + feinshin + lidarr
Works a treat
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.
I like my folders and separations. I separate the artists by the first letter of the name. I have 27 folders in my music folder. # and a-z. Then artist and album. So my music directories look like Music/R/Rob Zombie/Hellbilly Deluxe/Rob Zombie - Dragula.mp3. I know people who just drop everything into their music folder unorganized and let their player organize it. I can’t do it, personally. Holding the file requires proper placement for me.
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.
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.
😅 Sorry just a habit.
I though c stood for channels.
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.
