Schoole me ~ Naming conventions - gecko5 - 2011-01-06
Hi all,
Long time listener, first time caller..
Been trying to determine/find references to the best naming conventions to use for the various media as well as specifically for a media type. In my collection
MUSIC (Quite large, complete albums)
- ROCK
- 0-9
- A
- Artist lname, Artist fname (bitrate, 2 cd set, year) - album name
- disc 1
- track# - song title
- track# - song title
- track# - song title
- disc 2
- track# - song title
- track# - song title
- disc 1
- Artist lname, Artist fname (bitrate, 2 cd set, year) - album name
- B
- Artist lname, Artist fname (bitrate, 2 cd set, year) - album name
- disc 1
- track# - song title
- track# - song title
- track# - song title
- disc 2
- track# - song title
- track# - song title
- disc 1
- Artist lname, Artist fname (bitrate, 2 cd set, year) - album name
- CLASSICAL
- 0-9
- A
- Artist lname, Artist fname (bitrate, 2 cd set, year) - album name
- disc 1
- track# - song title
- track# - song title
- track# - song title
- disc 2
- track# - song title
- track# - song title
- disc 1
- Artist lname, Artist fname (bitrate, 2 cd set, year) - album name
- B
- Artist lname, Artist fname (bitrate, year) - album name
- Artist lname, Artist fname (bitrate, year) - album name
- track# - song title
- track# - song title
- track# - song title
- track# - song title
- track# - song title
This is how i've always kept it sorted for my various audio players i've used over the years..
Regarding video though, i am fairly new..
Currently, i have about:
250 movies of various quality, some in 2 discs
15 or so odd TV shows, multiple seasons, each with various episodes, organized by:
- TV Show
- Season 1
- S1 - E1 - Episode Name
- S1 - E2 - Episode Name
- S1 - E1 - Episode Name
- Season 2
- S2 - E1 - Episode Name
- S2 - E2 - Episode Name
- S2 - E1 - Episode Name
- Season 1
- xxxx-xx-xx - event
- xxxx-xx-xx - event
- xxxx-xx-xx - event
- Year
- xxxx-xx-xx - event
- xxxx-xx-xx - event - 01
- xxxx-xx-xx - event - 02
- xxxx-xx-xx - event - xx
- xxxx-xx-xx - event - 01
- xxxx-xx-xx - event
What are the best approaches for naming conventions? Am i on the right track?
FWIW - Windows XP running XBMC latest.
Thanks all.

I tried and tried and tried to get linux up but was defeated by driver incompatibilities
I took the easy road i guess.

Best filenames - Jay_M - 2011-01-08
I have been going back and forth on the idea of adding intelligent information in my movie/tv filenames. I have seen others have moviename.codec.resolution.ext in their filenames and wondered what your opinions are of the pros and cons of doing so and what naming conventions are best to follow. I don't mean the filename to be used for scraping but as a quick way to tell what a file contains, for my own personal record keeping.
