I think some of you would be astonished at how pedantic I am with regards to my music collection... I'm definitely not that OCD in any other facet of life. The motivation behind it is ease of locating artists and searching by genre on my music drive, ditto for my iPod, and correct scrobbling for last.fm.

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?
