Hello,

I have a small collection that is currently a complete mess because I mostly use id3 tag to browse them instead of relying filesystem path. Right now I want to sort it into a more organized structure and I would like to ask how are you organizing your music collection, especially with compilation album with "Various Artists".

Hope this is the right place to ask, thank you very much!

I do:
Music > Artist/band-name > Almum-title(Year)

For "various artists" discs I do:
Music > VA > compilations/OSTs/Splits (organize them in what type of VA disc they are) > Album-title(Year)

I let the tags take care of the more detailed info.
