Organizing large music collections

marco:

My advice regarding library organization is always unpopular and always ignored, but hear me out here: delete most of your music.

It’s a convincing argument — especially the external hard drive option.

This reminds me I still have to delete all of my music and reload it in a FLACC format, but that will be the day I finally purchase an external HD.
