“
My advice regarding library organization is always unpopular and always ignored, but hear me out here: delete most of your music. … If you’re like me, you don’t listen to most of your music very regularly. In fact, you tend to have ~5-8 albums on constant rotation, switching one in and another out every week or so. Thus, if you’re like me, you don’t need that much music in your iTunes library. Anything that isn’t a regular listen? Delete it. Don’t back it up, don’t archive it somewhere, don’t give it any funny smart playlist-referenced tags, just fucking delete it.

I swear this man & you were separated at birth or something. Or maybe your new alter ego is named Dick? So appropriate.

My organisation method is simple. Music folder, containing folders for artists, which contain folders for albums. On an external HD.

Agreed! If your tastes are fluid, you should be constantly trying new things anyway. Save favorites, and ditch the rest.

i use my ipod as the organizer. I think of itunes as the main library, and what is on my ipod as what i have “checked out”.

I need to delete some, but really enjoy hitting “shuffle” and just listening. I keep a couple “fave” playlists, but am otherwise unorganized.
