Organize your Music Library on Windows 7/8 (Part 2)

Organize your Music Library on Windows 7/8 (Part 2)

So how I make this

I Import the most Files with Itunes and convert this with Itunes to MP3 Files. All Decoded Files are then in Itunes Folder.

Itunes has a good Database and the most Files are after Decoding tagged.

I use for Tagging My MillstreamTagger

 Edit Tags Page

Fill out missing Tags

DiscOgs Page

I search for Pictures with the Discogs Page, add the Pictures to Bookletfolder, select a Picture for the mp3 Files to copy this Picture to the mp3 Files (Save to the whole Album,or Track),

Select also a folder.jpg File and bring it to the Drop Boxes for Pictures.

If I am finished with this Tags and Picture collectings I use the

Organize File Page

And Move or Copy the Files to the New Path

If there are new Files I copy this Files also to a Backup Disk.

I will show here the Library Folder for Music

Music Folder

I use Genre as Subfolder Names

In the Artistfolder are the Albums with Year and Albumname

Artistfolder







In the Albumfolder are all the Tracks and a Subfolder for Pictures

Albumfolder

Each Album has a Folder Picture ( normal the File is not Showed, you have to use in Explorer Tools->FolderOptions->View Show Hidden Files to see it ) Folder.jpg

Also I put in the mp3 Files a Cover Picture. I Prevere a Size of 600 by 600 Pixels

In the Albumfolder I have then a Booklet Folder
