finally finished organizing mine last night
Only thing I might do in the future is organize them by genre and make new playlists based of my favorite producers (neptunes produced tracks, kanye , alchemist etc.)

This is what mine is looking like now after countless hours importing it from my HP to my new Macbook, more than anything else I hate when my tracks don't play in the correct order that it is on the actual album. It's a pain in the +%$ editing all that stuff on your own, but I wouldn't have it any other way

Exactly. You gotta build a library. Don't go nuts and get 20,000 songs, then one day say 'Damn. I listen to 10% of this, and can't find %*%$ for %*%$. I should do something about this.'Originally Posted by JD214
I just organize as I download, It's the easiest way
You're better off deleting everything you don't listen to, planned on listening to but didn't for more than 3 months or is just so badly labeled it's offensive. Work your way up, not down.

[h3]all you need is this program. drag the files in before you add to itunes download the info then add to itunes. it searches different databases for the tags saves you so much time.
[/h3][h3]Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor (ID3v2, MP4, OGG, FLAC, ...)[/h3]

They have to be on SOMETHING (mixtape volume whatever). If not, make an album called misc and mixtapes for that artist and put a pic of them. Thats what I did for some mixtapes that I don't know the name of.
I recently organized my itunes as well. Its very frustrating but its worth it.

Have any of you tinkered with the ID3 tags on iTunes itself? I.e., has anyone added/corrected an ID3 tag manually on iTunes?
I'm thinking about doing this, but don't know how to start really.
iTunes does allow me to "Convert ID3 Tags" from "None" to "v1.0-v2.4" (select a song then Control+Click on Mac), but I don't know which version to select and I don't want to mess my library up.
My library is as impeccable as it can get (after an absurd amount of time spent organizing it). It just needs the correct metadata for all songs.

This is what I used when itunes decided it wanted to delete the track numbers and put everything out of order
