This is going to take a long time, since I have over 15,000 songs. But the main thing I need to do is clean up the dead files, and tag some things correctly. Most of the songs are correctly tagged, since I tag them as they come in, and the folders are organized (which is about the only thing iTunes is good for). I also need to get rid of stuff I know I will never listen to and clear some space on my external hard drive.
How to organize my mp3s
How I did it: I have a large number of mp3s, so first I started by going over my collection and deleting the ones I knew I would not listen to again. In doing that, I freed up a lot of space and then I put all the ones in my "To Organise" folder into sub-folders by artist name in my main Music folder on my hard drive.
Lessons & tips: Depending on how many mp3s you have, I would highly recommend doing a little bit at a time so it doesn't seem such a daunting task.

i have loads of it and a lot of it i’ve not listened in years and probably won’t again or i have whole albums where i only like a handful of songs, so i think the time has come for me to slowly reorganise and delete what i no longer want or need! :)
Well Ive been looking for a music file organizer for ages! I have hundreds of mp3s all without order and some are even duplicates. Ive just recently come across a program ‘nerxy file organizer’ and I love it!
It automatically organizes my music files into folders using options of my choice AND it deletes any duplicate files I may have.

“artist – song title”
as well as getting em all in their own respective folders as well!
to make more room for more mp3s!
It’s mostly organized, but I want to re-label alot of the folders. Mostly what I want to do is go through and make playlists. I’ve got all the way from A to E! but it’s not much fun so I keep putting it off.

four hours later… mmmmmmmm everything looks the same.
Yesterday I went through and cleaned out all the duplicate songs in iTunes. While I still need to go back and find the songs that got eradicated when I transfered things back and forth, my iTunes is back to being functional and full of good music, which is all I really wanted. I still have missing songs, some of which are stuck on my iPod, but I have most of my music.
I got started on this one today by going through and re-starring my favorites. Next I want to gather up the ones I’ve listened to the most, and then I will delete the songs that no longer work. I also have a few songs that just didn’t make the transfer over, so I need to go through and either buy them again, or look around the house and see if I still have the CD somewhere…
