hey guys, i am new to having loads of music on my pc, and i find it difficult to organize music in a way that's easy.

i was never a big fan of paying 20 dollars for a cd only to like maybe 3 songs, now that i have discovered yahoo music 4.99 a month its like an all you can eat buffet.

but i still have the problem of nit likeing the whole album.
how do you guys organize your music? right now i have it all in folders with the artist first then the album name inside that, ie coldplay>x&y,parachutes, a rush of blood to the head.

even though i like a majority of their songs i dont like all.

do you guys get the full album then just delete the songs you dont like?

I cant wait to hear from some of you orginization masters..thanks

All I do is ahve all the artist under my music folder. Within each artist there are folders with all of the albums and then all the tracks in the correct order. Even if a song is crap I keep it just purely becasue it's the album. If your running short of space then delete the ones you don't like, its more a preferences than a set rule!!
It gets messy when multiple albums have the same song, but I just put up with it and leave them as I have plenty of hard drive space left and new hard drives are really cheap anyway.
Just out of interest, how many songs do you now have??

well right now i only have 355 but i only have had yahoo music for a day, i plan in getting many many more, hard drive space isnt really a concern for me either, the way you do it is also the way i have it, well with yahoo you can download the whole album so when it gets downloaded, it automaticaly organizes them this way.

yahoo is great you should try it.

It looks good but it is only for the US. The UK version doesn't have the download feature, it only goes to Kelkoo to find where to buy the songs cheap.
I will have to wait until Yahoo releases the US version int he UK. I think I have enoughsongs at the moment though.

Yer, quite a lot of websites are US based or UK based but they normally have different versions for each country. For example, if I go to www.google.com in the UK it will automatically reroute me to the UK version. Try a UK based site like www.bbc.co.uk, this is a large website (one of the biggest on the net) and I should think it goes to a homepage specifically for the US.
