Yeah it is, anything less is pretty unacceptable.

Does that make the file a lot bigger?

Yup, and takes longer to do as well.

The rest, whilst it waits to be sorted lay in various boxes. Nobody will be believe me but I know which box any album is in when asked, lol.

Thats exactly what I did with mine. Thankfully I started about 2 years ago so i'm almost done now.

I still have about 800 left to do but it's mostly stuff I don't really listen to. I think I can survive not having U2's Achtung Baby , Offspring's Smash & a Poison live album uploaded onto my hard drive.

My main prob is that I don't do it consistently. I have a weekend where I rip a lot and then I wont do it for a few weeks.

I did my whole collection about three years ago. Ever since then I try to rip CDs as I get them.

I have mine backed up on 3 HDs

You never know

Heh. Yes, overall I'm pretty anal about how they're organized and my wife thinks it's hilarious.

I think we could be long lost brothers.

When it comes to CD's...

I just have it, where...

Signed CD's are first, after that are the ones that I listen to the most, and then the ones that I have, that don't really get any play.

When it comes to MP3's...

Organized by Artist

I have to have it labeled perfect, in my way.
If it's not, I can't listen to it.

I have to have...

Song: Every Word Capitalized In The Title.
Artist: Singer ft. Guest

I can't have it say "Ft." "Feat." or "feat."

It has to say "ft."
