Organizing Music

First and foremost, I would like to thank Louise for putting my mind at rest. My friend recently sent me a song that didn't have an artist, and it was driving me nuts! I told Louise about it and sent her the song, and within moments she managed to figure out it was Teresa Teng - Thousands of Words. Louise, you're a genius, and I will buy you drinks when I get to Hong Kong!

Anyway, this went onto a conversation about organizing music, and I must say, I'm quite particular about the way my music is named. You gotta capitalize the right parts of the title; artists "featured" in the song, don't appear under the "artist" column, but in the title, i.e. Forgot About Dre (feat. Eminem); classical songs should be named in this format: Composer: Song Title, with the artist being written like: Conductor; Orchestra; and for the love of God, please give me the right title. I once downloaded a song called Teenage Wasteland by The Who, and it wasn't until last year that I realized the song was actually called Baba Ganoush Baba O'Riley (too much food from the Middle East for Redford, thanks to Felix for the correction). Bastards! I felt so scrubby.

Everyone who uploads should follow a system for renaming songs. I don't think people realize how ugly it looks to have a song come up on the iPod completely wrong or with one word uncapitalized. It drives me nuts that I can't change it until I get home, and that is if I remember it too. With this in mind, I now know why the MLA guys (or any other body of people that decide how things should be sourced in essays) must feel when they come up with all these seemingly stupid ass rules. In the footnote, the Author's name is written with the first name going first, but in the Bibliography, the surname comes first, and in the footnote, you use commas, not periods, and ARGH EAT SHIT AND DIE ALREADY! Ahem, but yes, I now understand how they must feel about stuff like this.
