Do you keep your iTunes Library Clean?

My iTunes library is perfect. Everything's all assorted into It's correct artists, albums, genres and album artwork.

Is yours?

I find it nearly impossible to make it perfect. Thats why I hate I tunes. Maybe I just don't know how to use it good but it seems like it's just not user freindly enough. junglist101

Nope. My brother gave me about 20 GB of his music, most of which doesn't have artwork and sometimes has incorrect information. I'm just too lazy to go through and fix it all.

However, everything I've put on my PC myself is correct and organized.

I try my hardest to keep it all orgnized but because I have so many upcoming artist & old underground music it's hard to find album art.

I have 86 gigs of music. When I come to it, I rate the music I like the most.

I had to reboot my HDD so redoing it is kind of a nightmare. I hand-pick the tunes I want to rate and move on till I come to a new artist for my time period of review.

It wasn't until last month, took me 12 hours to sort it all, 80gb of music is a lot to sort through bah... some stuff I just deleted lol.

Now its pristine :)

For me, the song titles, artists and albums must always be correctly spelled and in order. I don't care about the genre so much as the rest, but you do have a good point. I'll fix up the genres tonight if I can. I also put the year the album came out next to the album title in brackets.

I would get the album artwork, I just don't know how to download it onto my iPod.

Most of it is in order(140gb). I periodically go through the folders and correct them. Thank god for mass file editors, which, as long as the track name is correct, is easy to fix albums and artists.

I hate Itunes. Do not use it.

Bad tags drive me crazy. It bugs me when I look at someone else's iPod and see "Dr. Dre", "Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg", & "Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg" all tagged differently.

I don't really care to keep it super organized. As long as I can find what I want to listen to and the artist name and song title is listed properly, I'm fine.

Also I don't use iTunes. lol.

I don't use Itunes any more, I made the switch to Media Monkey. My library of 2500 is pretty much flawless. I edited every track with the original album cover, original year of release, correct capitalization and punctuation, lyrics, genre, ratings and utilized most of the "deadbeat" ID3 tags like composer, grouping and conductor. The more information per track, the more detailed you can make your playlists.

[QUOTE="chaoscougar1"][QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"]So I've been told. I also know computers and computer software well. I can easily get the hang of things.DmadFearmonger

If you pick and choose, then what criteria do you use?

I try to get atleast album art for everything, by apple is awful at interface and obviously its really obnoxious, for e.g I have an album with appropriate artwork for each track, but randomly the art doesn't show up on my ipod :?Overlord93

no...my Itunes is Filthy.....Filthy and hot........dirty dirty girl......Omni-Slash

God no. I only have itunes up to start a song then I set it to shuffle, and then I minimize it so I never see it.

I don't use itunes. Or anything made by Apple.

But my music collection is well organised and tagged.

Yep, everything is near perfect, except the genres, now you mention it I think I should sort them out. Haha.

Never heard of it.

Some of the songs are a little dirty.

Just generally. I am not OCD about it.

I don't use iTunes, otherwise, yes. It buggs me if my music is not perfect.

I only download podcasts from iTunes. Havent bought one track.

I stopped using itunes when i discovered spotify but I never had a clean library on any music program.

[QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"]Neither have I. I only use it to play stuff and sync my iPod. Wouldn't buy anything off that store 'cause I'm a mad collector of CD's.DmadFearmonger

Lol i'm just a cheapskate. All my music is downloaded illegally. Oddly, i'm the total opposite when it comes to movies. My nerd collector mentality surfaces and i need the disc and case.

I'm very orderly in everything actually, just not itunes as i dont use it for music.
