When you're organizing your live sets on your hard drives, how do you label them? More specifically, how do you do the date?

Re: How do you guys label your sets?

i usually do artist/date/venue/city/country:

Jimmy Van M - 2002-12-13 - Live at Advance Club, Guadalajara.mp3 Mo Shic - 2004-03-00 - Live At WMC, Miami, Fl.mp3 John Digweed - 1996-00-00 - Live at Club Firestone, Orlando, FL.mp3

or, if it's a radio show:

Hernan Cattaneo - 2004-01-31 - Resident.mp3 Shiloh - 2004-09-02 - Proton Radio - Electrofly 06 - September Mix.mp3

or, if it's a set played on a radio show:

Lonestar - 2004-07-21 - Proton Radio - Aesthetic Code

but i always to the date: year/month/day b/c i'm anal and i like to see the progression of an artist over time:

John Digweed - 1994-00-00 - Journey's By DJ - Volume 04 - Silky Mix John Digweed - 1995-00-00 - Renaissance - The Mix Collection - Part 02 John Digweed - 1997-00-00 - The Winning Ticket John Digweed - 2002-06-04 - MMII John Digweed - 2005-01-17 - Fabric 20

I put it in the "[b]Music[/b]" folder, and I write whatever I feel like on the burned CD with a black sharpie.

#328398Post 4 of 28

example: john digweed_live in beirut (02-28-04) example: David Hasselhoff_Live in Moscow, Russia (07-04-04)

you get the idea.

I dont even bother to rename them to look the same anymore...I use to do them like:

2002-04-16 John Digweed @ Space, Miami.mp3

I dont really care anymore though ever since they were all taken away from me...tear

#328459Post 7 of 28

track number - artist - set or mix name DDMMYY.mp3

For my kiss sets, I keep them in folders of Kiss YYMMDD

#328471Post 8 of 28

I label them like that...

  1. John Digweed - Live@Kiss100 (Dec-19-2004).mp3
  2. Derek Howell - Live@Kiss100 (Dec-19-2004).mp3

or

Greg Benz - Live@Shine On Proton Radio (Oct-16-2003).mp3

I pretty much do this too...

getting an iPod has changed everything since you have to rename everything again in iTunes before you synch it...

are you sharing this one still?

I have his Live in Vegas 11-22-02

#328526Post 13 of 28

Haha David Hasselhoff :D Anyway, the reason I was asking is because I'm trying to find an effective way of labelling sets so that I can view them chronologically. I guess putting the year before anything would be ideal.

yea but tahts just messing with the id3 info not the filename.

as for the filename, i just keep it the way i got it. too much effort into renaming shit and making it all perty. i dont particularly liek some ppls way of organizing. for example some person puts his nickname on every set he downloads so it makes it look like he recorded/encoded/ripped it himself (thezapper) so i just rename it and take his name out of the id3 info cuz i dont like fakers. as for jibby, his is kind of annoying also. with all those underlines and sh!t, i mean wtf? use a dash for christs sake brah. ejejejeej

#329384Post 20 of 28

whatever it says on the MS download page is the way it stays :RockOn:

#329414Post 21 of 28

I used to be well anal about filenames, but tis just too much hassle nowadays. As long as it shows up if i search for it evrything is fine.

#329585Post 25 of 28

i find the easiest way is to do it is by putting the date like so... Danny Howells - Live @ Arc (March 27, 2004) part 4

that way if the day and month ever get confusing i figure it out and cacel the problem... cheers :Cheerz:

#329587Post 26 of 28
