I just spent 3 hours making 2 audio CDs O____o
This just means I REALLY need to re-organize my music.
It took many many folders scattered over 2 hard drives to make 2 CDs of Celtic music bits for tomorrow. Yes, I'm going to just give in and organize by alphabet, rather than genre.
Additionally, yes, this is my last post for a good few days!!

*grins, nodding* Yup, I'm really anal about the tags, too.

I use Musicmatch Jukebox (MMJB) most of the time - it's got the best library and tagging features that I've found yet. However, it's also a bit sluggish when you've got a lot of files. A lot meaning... 6k+ tunes.

It'll let you copy the files in a selected playlist off to anywhere. Or burn it to CD, natch.

I keep my files organized on disk in 2 steps - stuff I got off the internet, so it's relatively free to redist, vs commercial stuff ripped from CDs we own. Oh, and Christmas music gets it's own directory. Within that breakdown there's not much organization, just subdirectories named sequentially - the CD# I backed them up to. That's gonna change, however, as I gave up on the backup concept when I realized just how MANY CDs it's gonna take - gotta switch to DVD, and find some other way of tracking what's backed up and what isn't.

yeah, the whole concept of "backing up" my music collection is amusing to me, since i dont' have some form of mass media storage device. no, strait cd-burners just don't count when you've got 30 gigs of material!

Sometime I'm going to come over and plug my hard drive into your... wait, I mean, drain you of your... wait... dammit!
I mean...
I have an external USB harddrive you could back your tunes up on if you wish- it will just take a while unless you have USB2 O__o

Yeah, exactly. And we've got about 50g.

I mean, yeah, I've got the source CDs, but the tagging is a lot of work!
