<p>I have over 18000 tracks and I use </p>
<p>Artist/<album or single name>/artist-album-track#-tracktitle</p>
<p>With meta data populated in id3<br>
Upsides it works with every application and allows album playback, easy to navigate.</p>
<p>Down sides changes requie chaning meta data and file structure/name</p>
<p>For instance there doesn't seem to be reliable data to provide artist names reliably, some times its:<br>
- flaming lips<br>
- the flaming lips<br>
- flaming lips, the</p>
<p>And that doesn't take into account capitalisation variances.</p>
<p>Generally this works well and is easy to navigate and works with all applications I have looked at.</p>
<p>On windows j river media center does a great job of keeping file names and meta data in sync, I am looking for a way to do this on linux as easily.</p>

<br>
Can anyone with a huge music collection comment on what they think is<br>
the best directory structure / filename so everything works well?<br>
<br>
Is the structure that important as there are applications that allow<br>
you to update the structure depending on the tagging ID1/2<br>
information?<br>
<br>
At some point I would like to add album art etc so a structure that<br>
would allow some kind of automatic grabbing would be useful too?<br>
<br>
Should I just use something like:<br>
<br>
ARTIST - ALBUMNAME \ TRACKNUMBER.MP3<br>
<br>
TIA<br>
