RE: Giving up on downloads

Posted by DewDude on November 23, 2019 at 14:09:04:
It's a shame you feel this way. When I started with PC audio 22 years ago, we didn't have any software for organization or the like. The only thing metadata was good for was displaying information on playback. This resulted in hand-organizing files and treating our music collection much like a physical CD one.

To this day I still hand-organize my music and literally have zero reliance on metadata at all. Each album or disc gets it's own folder, all the tracks that are on that album/disc go in to that folder. The filenames are usually in some format of track number first with the track title somewhere in there.

It sounds barbaric, but it does help to ensure my stuff is organized the way I want it to be. But I think if you went "backwards" and tried a file/folder organization and did things to where metadata didn't count for much; it might work for you.

Like I said, this is how I've been organizing my music collection for 22 years.

As far as your downloads; you can't do anything with them except keep them or delete them. There are no methods to resell or donate downloads.
