Organizing My Media
struct:
Once you get the basics into the tags, you may want to consider running your music through MusicBrainz Picard (perhaps with the lastfm+ plugin) to populate a whole lot more information. Should be largely automatic and you don't have to rename the files, thus you are no worse off if you don't like what it does to the tags, i.e. simply rerun the instructions above.

I SEE THE LIGHT! ;D Thank you glynor. Whatever they're paying you, it isn't enough.
DanoRoo:
Sorry. I do have one more question. In the Beethoven example, the first filename in CD1 is: Piano Sonata No. 2 in A, Op.2, no2 - I
What would be the appropriate tags for the filename? It isn't the artist, nor is it the album. Looking down the list of tags, I don't see one that is appropriate.
I also want to mention that when I imported my files into MC, I did exactly as you suggested in your tutorial. Tools > Configure Auto-Import, then I pointed MC to my files, but before I began importing, I checked the "Analyze Audio" and the "Write file tags when analyzing audio, getting cover art, and applying folder-based tags" boxes. But, MC only processed about half the files, then stopped. All my files are in MC's library, so I'm assuming it must the the analyzing process that got hung up. I tried to start the process again, but it would not process the remaining 4 or 5 thousand files.

glynor, unfortunately, isn't paid by JRiver. He gives his time freely.
Along with many others here, glynor helps people like you because of his passion for all things digital and a genuine interest in his fellow beings. And he has a voracious appetite.

My method is pretty common:
Artist folder > Album Folder > songs labeled artist-track name-track#, I embed all cover art inside of the song file via something like mp3tag.

no need to mp3 tag MC is good for this too in fact it's good for all ^^
