Can't even WinXP's File Explorer display mp3 tags in a nice sorted list? I know it handles wav/avi. I'm pretty sure I saw this same functionality in the Linux world.
Just don't be so lazy, name your files right when you acquire them.
Personally I use Windows File Explorer, Winamp 2.8, and directory layout. I don't create artist folders unless I have more than 2 songs by the artist. Album folders are only created for complete albums. Stuff I've just recently acquired goes in the "unsorted" folder. Track numbers have to always be two digits(01,02..) for Windows to sort it sanely(1 > 09, 4 > 19, heh).
Folders go...
"genre/artist/album/artist - track # - song.mp3"
"genre/artist/artist - song.mp3"
"genre/artist - song.mp3"
"unsorted/artist - song.mp3"
"playlists/station - genre"
If Windows Explorer didn't have good keyboard integration I'd probably just use the latest Winamp.
1. Someone releases the next logical step, a VR headset. 2. Linux boots on the Revolution. Haha! Fuck longhorn!
No matter what the topic the only replies are negative. Grow the fuck up people.
Damn, that is a good idea. I'll get right on that.
That sounds like a good book.
Why not just install BeOS?
