Organizing Your Digital Music Collection

Hey audiophiles!

I have a bunch of digital music I’ve collected via YouTube, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to organize it. Ideally I’d like to catalog it so I can easily pull tracks by artist, etc.

Thoughts?

    iTunes organizes as well as anything I’ve run across. I’ve got like 16 years into that system so I might not be objective. What are you looking for as end result?

    I have a bunch of links of various music videos from YouTube. It would be nice to 1) export them 2) get the ID3 metadata (lulz, hey @Pitchfork51) so I don’t have to manually enter in information. Maybe then generate a list of my library.

    I used to love iTunes, but haven’t used it in years.

    I use Amazon because I have it on multiple devices and with bluetooth I can play in the car or through speakers. I'm pretty Amazon isn't cool but it's where my songs are


    @RaceBannon, I actually really like Amazon Prime’s music streaming service. I never thought of using it for offline stuff.

    It’s like vinyl records, with little movies...on the internet.

    My one issue with iTunes is that songs that I bought from Amazon keep disappearing from my iTunes library.

    I'll bet Rod Stewart is a huge Amazon streaming guy @RaceBannon . Neil Young is very much in Camp Yella- i.e., vinyl and if your going digital it needs to be hi-res. His Pono thing sure was a big flop.

    Shout out to @Pitchfork51 for having a publication.

    How does that turntable work in your car?

    I have a 300 plus collection of the greatest hits of the last 50 years that I'm not sick of hearing. I uploaded some from CDs and bought the rest. Sounds quality isn't a big issue to me anymore. Convenience is. A bottle of win and a fresh bowl and bluetooth sounds like being at the Seattle Coliseum

    And when I have to travel around the Southland (ILTCIT) and the good sports radio shows go off the air my library rides with me on my phone

    It's the Greatest!!

    All kidding aside, I'm very much a Why Not Both.Gif guy when it comes to tunes. I obsess over making play lists for the car and love the miracle of streaming.

    But my loser basement set up does sound pretty fantastic with a cold beer. Ask @89ute


    Can confirm. More to come when I finally poast about my Worshington trip. probably tomorrow.

    I love watching live performances on Youtube.com ! The sheer volume of great and rare footage there is amazing.

    Alas, I'm a Spotify junkie theses days. The cost is for premium is minimal and the enjoyment factor is extraordinary. I helped DDY make the Rose Bowl play list even though no one could hear it worth a shit on the shitty blue tooth set up.

    I can remember around 2007 ripping like 600 cds into my iTunes account. Fuck that. What a pain in the ass.
    I lost too many days of my life manually ripping CDs onto iTunes, only to lose it all.

    In the end, it doesn’t really matter.
