Having 100 twenty year old rips and another 100 unripped classical CDs
to sort into a usable library in the last two weeks I applied force
majeure. As I adjusted the tagging I made sure most album titles started
with the composer's name. Some random compilations have names I remember
like "Awake the trumpets' lofty sound" and I left those alone. "South
Pacific" and "Oklahoma" speak for themselves. Genre tagging is all over
the place. Most albums are tagged "classical" even if they are baroque,
chamber, choral, romantic or musical - but I don't care. I have a "card
index box" I can quickly flip through. I did try correctly to tag
Christmas carols, and succeeded; but decided it was too much effort to
move from displaying Albums to Genres, so I added "Xmas:" to the album
name of my 20 Carol CDs. I then had a few funnies like a HiFi News test
CD from 30 odd years ago. I stuck "Xtra:" on the front of that and the
other funnies. I now have a main catalogue that is rationally indexed
with the Christmas Carols at the end and Xtras to bring up the rear.
(Xtra indexes after Xmas!)

Works for me - life's too short! I guess it would not work if I had 1000
albums!
