Currently, I have two different systems - one that I used to use, and the one that I'm migrating to.
I used to have a system where every mp3 was named like so:
Artist_With_Underscores_If_More_Than_One_word-Song_Title.mp3
That worked pretty well. I didn't care about ID3, so long as my mp3s were named like that.
Now, I'm migrating to
/dave/mp3/Artist/Album Name/Song Name.mp3
Mainly because that's the way iTunes rips mp3s, and iTunes is the best mp3 player -ever-. Eventually, I want to make iTunes rip mp3s like this
/dave/mp3/Artist/Album Name/Artist - Song Name.mpg
'cause honestly, that's how I'd prefer it. I'm also being super anal about how they're cataloged, both in iTunes' internal DB, as well as the ID3 tags. Luckily, iTunes makes this awfully easy, and then I can play them from all of my computers via a nice SMB share. Once I get the file server built, they'll all be on there, and all the computers in the house will automount their various shares. House-wide, we probably have about 6,000 unique MP3's. Mine have always been the most impeccable. Unfortunately, I need to go through them all and re-work them. Oh well.
Anyway. That's how I do it now.
