I cataloged my collection of music yesterday. It is a task that I wanted to do since a long time but never got round to doing. There are several levels of organization needed to have an efficient collection of songs. The first level is: Naming. Like anyone else, I get songs from many sources - audio cds, limewire, youtube and friends (NOTE: If you are the kind of guy who spends sleepless nights over losses that the audio industry incurs from pirated songs, this blog is not for you). Each source seems to have their own naming convention. On one hand, the songs from audio cds start with numbers and on the other hand the songs from youtube have no name at all. However neither of them compare to the songs I get from the net. They come in all sorts of names and styles. Their names can start with the name of the singer or end with it. Sometimes, they mention the album's name, sometimes they do not. Then there are those which proudly bear the name of the website which brazenly distributes it. And not to forget the ones which just have double digits as their identity. Sort of like the 'James Bond' of songs.
More levels later
