I'm starting to rip my classical collection, but I'm confused as how to best organize it on a computer.

I think I need separate folders for each artist. Beyond that....I'm not even sure what to include in the file name....

How do you guys organize & name the classical music on your PCs?

Hello Mp3junkie,

Good to see you on board...

I set folders up by Composer

sometimes by a favorite Artist like Itzachk Perlman

But I look up my music by composer according to my mood.
and search for the concerto or symphony or piece I'm looking for.

Composer- Artist -Piece is my hierarchy.

Bach,J.S
Bach,C.P.E.
David_Oistrakh
Haydyn
Handel
Itzachk_Perlman

Last name only for composer,first name initials if necessary for modifiers
like in the instance of Bach above.

First than last for favorite Artists, for quick recognition
