I name my music using a <Genre>\<Artist>\<Year> <Album>\<Track#> - <Title> mask and tag it accordingly. It requires genre tags and disc # tags (in the case of multidisc albums) for my iPod's sake since folder structure means nothing to it. All other tags (lyrics/comments etc.) should be blanked out because they usually contain crap like bittorrent tracker and blog URLs. I ensure that all albums have album art too (there must be a small folder.jpg in each album which should then be embedded in each track). I think I might run my music against MusicBrainz to iron out any discrepancies.

If any of you have mp3 tagging questions, ask away. And how ironic is it that I should just notice from my last.fm sig that The Red Krayola is mistagged?
