How to get all my mp3's properly tagged by cv

"actually, shuffling is fine"

How I did it: You know what, I used to be a big believer in having a tidy and organised library and playlists. Nowadays I just shuffe and listen to whatever's playing. Not because I have lost my musical taste, but because I learned to delete the songs I don't ever feel like listening to anymore. It's pretty much as simple as that. Also, the skip button helps :)

It took me
1 day
It made me
yay!

How I did it: . It really took more than one day... I have 80gb of music acquired from various libraries belonging to friends and co-workers after my hard drive decided to quit on me. It was a process of tagging, listening to the pod, finding mistakes, and tagging again. Read how I did it…

    don't really want to think about it 4 weeks ago

    my music collection is a big pile of evil. half-tagged files everywhere, and a lot of nonsense like these artist tags:

    Beethoven
    Beethoven,_Ludwig_Van
    Beethoven_-_The_London_Classic
    Ludwig_van_Beethoven
    Ludwig_Van_Beethoven
    Ludwig_van_Beethoven_-_Artur_S
    L_v_Beethoven
    Schnabel,_Ludwig_van_Beethoven

    i shudder to think of tackling this, but i’d like to move my collection online, possibly to http://www.mp3tunes.com/ , and want to get it ready.

    i need to look for what i can delete, then start rationalizing the remainder.

    beezo is starting to reasses his goals

    not important 3 months ago

    in the grand scheme of things, this goal isnt important… was just a way for me to waste time.

    i dont even own any mp3s anymore.

    A bit overwhelmed by this goal 4 months ago

    Is tagging the same as making playlists??? Maybe that’s what I mean here. In order to do this I guess I need meaningful tags/lists identified. So that is the current sticking point.

    I’ll investigate this by asking my 13 year old what his tags are. I imagine it’s easier to accomplish this goal when your music collection is smaller than my decades old one.

    But, it will be nice to have my music organized.

    Anerysa is heartbroken

    Some progress! 5 months ago

    There’s a few things that need to happen before I embark on this project, and a major one just happened.

    Specifically, I acquired a 750 Gig external drive where I dumped all of my music. There, I’m organizing it into a file structure that makes sense.

    I’ve also picked out an app (EasyTAG) that I think will do the job quite well.

    Onwards…

    Smart Playlists 7 months ago

    Have started using smart playlists to manage my music.

    Used ideas from this and this and it has really helped me monitor what is already there.

    Anybody else use smart playlists like this?

    beezo is starting to reasses his goals

    deleted 7 months ago

    about 10 months back i accidentally deleted my life-time collection of mp3’s, so technically i dont have this goal anymore, since I dont have any mp3’s.

    but ill keep it on the list, since i want to get some again.

    Vlad is anxious to board the next plane

    Yay! It's done 7 months ago

    It took 2 days – 6-8hrs a day (my eyes were sore afterwards), but I’m done now… it’s worth it definitely! Now all I have to do is tag everything as soon as I get it.

    		 Dmitry Fedoseev asks, “What are your rules for tagging albums with more than one artist? I.e. you have albums of A, of B, and one where they are performing together. So you have tracks with 'Artist' tags "A", "B" and "A & B", so iTunes guess there are 3 different artist.”
