Being OCD About Sorting Music

[Uninstall]

Hi all,

I just wanted to discuss organising music.. Do you do it so that your music is perfectly organised in your folders/library? I'm incredibly OCD about sorting my music and whatever is not sorted irritates me like mad. I don't personally know anyone that does it!

How do you sort your music?
Do you edit your tags using Mediamonkey? Your music player?
Sort by album? Sort by artist? Sort by album artist? Sort by genre?

Share, show off your library

Hmm i just shove them into folders of what anime the music came from and maybe subfolders of album

Interesting, sorting by Anime, never thought of that, really but I mostly don't listen to sound tracks so I don't really have a reason doing that

I prefer sorting it by Album.. Also I can't stand not having any album art as well..

I like to sort by artist. It's way easier for me to look for the song I want to listen to.

And about the album art, I cannot sleep whenever it comes to album art. I will go through the depths of Hell just to get the album art I desire.

Hahaha I get the feeling about the album art, man - it pisses me off so much when I'm trying to look up album art of good resolution of some underground album that 100 people on the planet have ever heard of...

Those are really frustrating to find. I usually find 240x240px pictures which bugs me a lot.

I usually sort 'em by folder, using WinAmp.

BTW, what's OCD?

[Decalcomania]

OCD: An acronym of the word 'Obsessive-compulsive disorder'. It means that whoever has OCD will keep repeating a certain task until it is perfect to that specific person. Such as MapleStory, my friend kept on making characters until he got the exact character he wanted.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a disorder that makes you obsessed about perfecting something or constantly checking if something is right because of uncertainty (I suppose that's the simplest manner of defining it)

I know it's kind of inappropriate to joke about but I suppose many people on the Web use the term OCD when it comes to organising music, even if they don't actually suffer from the disorder. I know a friend who suffers from this and it's pretty damn bad sometimes - he absolutely has to start his first step when walking with his right foot, or he feels incredibly bad about it and sometimes gets angry at himself - it can also be cause for suicide - so I try to be cautious when throwing around the phrase OCD but I don't mean it at an offensive manner, or a poking fun matter at all. Just try to remember that the actual OCD is far worse..

EDIT: Nevermind, Decalcomania finished before me hehehe

I tend to restart songs in rhythm games whenever I don't press the button perfectly. I sometimes even destroy an object just for the sake of not having the word 'Perfect!' pop out when I press the button.
