When I had albums the only one I cared about organizing was the one on the end that people could see. I always made sure it was something that showed how cool I was.
I didn’t think OP meant physical.
Do they mean ‘physical’ for ‘stored in own storage’, instead of cloud?
They might but pretty sure that’s wrong.
I’ve used MediaMonkey for years and let it do most of the work. Mostly I focus on my playlists, like “Current Mindlist,” “Calm the Fuck Down,” and “You’re Gonna Get a Speeding Ticket.” I also do smart lists by artist, genre, or grouping tags. It’s worked really well for my 50k+ files on the computer side. Just need to find a good player for my iPhone so I can pass ratings back and forth along with changes to playlists made on the phone. I used Spotify for a decade or so and have enjoyed digging back into my old stuff.
FYI, on Lemmy, we don’t have “subs”— we have communities aka “comms”
Oh come on.
While you are correct entirely I feel like subs can still work since we are subscribing to a community also helps make it generic been comma and mags on mbin etc.
There’s apparently another site called Robbbit (or something like that and it’s run by a chap called Spaz; I think). A lot of people here are apparently familiar with it; but are not necessarily fans. Their communities are called “subrobbits” so on the fediverse people like to use community to distance themselves from that other place. Kinda makes sense.
😅 Sorry just a habit.
I though c stood for channels.
Like a physical file for keeping sheet music in?
Software organizes the library into artist/album folders automatically. Then I organize every track into playlists based on mood/genre. I’ll generally pick a certain playlist to listen to and put it on shuffle.
I don’t. Every album goes in the
~/Musicfolder. I don’t use playlists unless you count albums as playlists.Don’t really do playlists but i have Genres, They are then split into bands, Which are the split into albums.
probably a good question for !selfhosted@lemmy.world as well
Um, do you mean discs and albums? Because that’s physical media.
Anything else is bits.
Disc content is bits.
How I keep my physical music files.You need more music files, but I love the thumbholes in this to require less random access memory.
I assume you mean digital files. I keep them all lumped together in a folder. I only have around 1,300 songs, since I only download the specific songs I’m looking for and not entire albums.
I organize my playlist by mood or use. “Working” is high bpm and general upbeat motivating things, “Singing” is things my middle aged ass sings along with when drunk or otherwise chemically enhanced, “Sadness” is the most soul crushingly painful songs that have lyrics I directly relate to, “Sexy time” is for when your mom or anyone else here’s mom visits… the usual.
Same here, except I don’t use playlists. If I want to see everything by album, most music players can do that by reading the metadata.
I just have a Music directory with a subdirectory for each album named <artist name> - <album name>, with the files inside being named <disc number (if needed)> <track number> <track name> - <artist name>.
I don’t even use the library functionality of any audio player. I just have my file manager set up so that it uses the cover art as the thumbnail, set the thumbnails to a big size, and use the built-in search functionality for finding something. That limits what can be found, but I can’t say I ever needed to find an album by the year it came out.
I like to rifle through my music, so I just keep all my new albums on one shelf and move them to another shelf as I listen to them. Then I can choose if I want to listen to something I haven’t heard yet, or something I have, and if I have, it’s sorted naturally by last listen time, since I always put albums on the shelf in the same spot.
The only exception is that if I really don’t like an album, I’ll put it on one of the edges of the shelf so it can withstand the most pressure. I try to keep the records packed tightly enough not to tip too much, but also loosely enough not to be squished, but if I do make a mistake and end up messing up a record, I’d rather it be one I don’t plan to listen to again.
