For downloading purposes, I prefer to have the name be Artist - Album
- # - Track. For one thing, if it is # and track only and I download
more than one album, then all the 1's are together, all the 2's are
together, etc. It takes an inordinate amount of time to sort those
back out. So I've learned if I want one of those thusly named, I get
1 album at a time, move it to its own folder, get the next one, etc.
Within my own files, I also prefer the full naming. As an editor, I
also know it is much easier to remove excess (for those that prefer #
- Track only) than to add additional information (for those that
prefer full naming).
I also think it more gracious for us to say thank you to those that
take the time to post than to read someone the riot act because they
are not posting according to someone else's opinions.
Game on ...
