Ice Czar said:Create a toolbar for the Music Folder, and a folder heirarchy by Genre, then by Artist, then sometimes by Album
of course that is independent of any playlists you want to compile or all the above strategies
which you can also employ
but I can locate any song in a few seconds
the main trick is being able to view all current level heirarchy selections in the toolbar popup,
(which will extend from the bottom to the top of the screen if full)
if you have to scroll then add another level to the heirarchy
(which is also dependent on the realestate and resolution your working with)

I like having as short a file name as possible, so I only place the track name and number in the file name, because my head unit in my Jeep is a piece of crap.

I use FLAC only these days. Storage is so damn cheap and Mp3s just sound too shitty for my liking.
Deadlierchair said:One big problem with FLAC is that it is not compatible with many portable mp3 players (iPod), or else I'd use it too. And, when you encode an mp3 properly (I do 256 kbit VBR --alt-preset-extreme) it is hard to tell the difference between it and the real CD.
SKiTLz said:hard to tell on your pc with tinny speakers maybe.. I use it for the fact that when when I want to restore it back to a cd I've got original quality. I also stream off my server to my stereo so FLAC is a definate plus for me.
I've tried MP3 for compatibility reasons but no matter what encoding settings I used I could always tell the difference. They need lossless MP3. Same compatibility but without compression. The filesize doesnt bother me.
Deadlierchair said:I'm not going to argue with you, there is a difference. Especially when you're cranking it to high levels on a nice home theatre system. If you can hear a huge difference on even a really really nice mp3 I'd look at how you're encoding, because at high levels it's barely audible.
If the iPod actually supported some sort of good lossless audio (not that Apple crap) I'd convert my collection to Flac, but until then it doesn't make sense for me.
