So here I am, sitting on a modest 200 gigs, give or take a few, of music. I'm stupidly proud of it, has I have crafted it carefully, with covers renamed as "folder.jpg", uniform filenames, ID tags REMOVED... Well, it's just my thing. I know it seems trite to brag about MP3 collections, but I'd like to hear from you others what MP3 has brought to you.
I know my collection is very varied, as I was able to try out a lot of different music. Hip-hop, old-school R&B, rock, electronica, power symphonies, guitar heroes, ska, ska-punk, punk, emo, videogame soundtracks, movie soundtracks, mashups, classical music, world folk music (my current and longest love), and so on. I basically like trying out *everything*, just not too much what passes on the radio & TV. I don't understand people who lock themselves into one group. Goths. Punks. Rastas. Wiggers... Don't they realize how much life has to offer outside of their silly prisons?
Without the MP3 format, I'd still be a dumbfuck listening to Pink Floyd only. (Even though they rock my soul to this day)
And I want it to be shared, shared, shared, in one big block, whenever I trade with friends IRL, and now I think I don't give back enough. Well maybe because I keep seeding the porn I download, but whatever. So that
As I saw on Empornium that I had uploaded roughly more than my MP3 collection, I started wondering where it would be wisest to post it. Should I seed it as a torrent? I could try and leave it up for grabs on the Kad network, but I like the fact that you can seed entire directory structures, and download what you want from a torrent. Or whatever floats your boat!
What do you think, O elders of 4chan?

I want that much music :[
My 60GB HD means I can only have like 40 GB of moosick.
If you have anything like Cake or Modest Mouse, a torrent of whatever's in the same category would be greatly appreciated :)

No, I want to know these things:

I can store it in the filename, but that is a misuse of the filesystem, one should not rely on descriptive filenames.

That's actually what I do myself. Yet I still keep ID3 tags because they are useful, and I'm a fascist.
Someone who doesn't use ID3 tags? Whoa, that's seriously fucked up.
There's a simple reason to use them: sometimes you get a renamed file. No tags? You'd better hope they're lyrics so you can hunt them down on teh intarweb. No lyrics? You're screwed.

Look, maybe ten years agor, I used to download MP3's hand by hand, and I'd also download stupidly named shit. Now, you can download full albums by the truckload on any P2P network, so what's your excuse? File's already cleanly named, so what's your use of the ID3 tag?

If you download this kind of shit, you're a dumbass and need some 9mm aspirin.
I would like to see this collection. And I don't need to write down "Pennywise is skate-punk" either. Morons.

You mean you never get an unusually named mp3 that you really like? It happens to me all the time.
There's a reason why internal metadata was created, you know? It wasn't because someone thought it'd be great fun to create additional redundancy.
Taking the effort to remove something that could be useful in the future, but otherwise doesn't affect you, is silly. It's not like 1KB is going to leap out and kill you. Just accept that you're doing this for purely emotional reasons and move on.

What you gentlemen fail to realise is that ID3 tags can encode a wider range of characters than Windows filenames; of most importance: ? / and "

Windows can use Unicode filenames that include ?,/, and "
Descriptive ID3 tags are more secure than descriptive filenames, in the sense that they filenames are more easily messed with. I don't enjoy mile long folder/file names. That would be a sort of faggotry.

What we need are DB filesystems, and in the meantime, storing metadata in filenames or in tags are both shitty hacks and it doesn't matter which one you use.

I actually use genre real often now that I have an iPod. It helps keep things categorized, which is always good when you have shitloads of music.
I didn't really give a shit about ID3 tags at all until I got an iPod/XBMC, anyway--correct filenames were good enough for me back then.
I was serious, actually. Launch with ADC-launch and open MPFREE.cat to see what you've been pissing on.

You took a perfectly good music collection, REMOVED any hope of sorting it and then tried to claim you'd done it a FAVOUR?
Man, oh, man. The person full of shit here is you. How often have I seen fucked filenames? Too many to count. Fucked ID3? Uh... I'm sure they exist, but I've never seen one, and I've had plenty of chances. The worst I've ever seen was in the comment tag, but no player shows that.
Incidentally, just today I noticed three mp3s of mine have the wrong filename, thanks to ID3. This isn't the first time, nor will it be the last.
And what's wrong with genre? Haven't you ever done your own encodes and used a mass-tagger? Some of us use players that don't suck, so we can sort by arbitrary metadata, including ID3 tags.

The problem with filenames isn't so much that they could be wrong (they're no different from tags in that respect), it's that everyone uses their own format.
