Media Tagging (mp3, wav, etc) - How Anal Do You Get?

I actually like having "[Disc One]" etc so they are broken up into separate folders, only because it makes it easier to split up the listening into multiple parts.

I forgot to add release year in my list above, definitely mandatory. And if I get a re-issue of something, I usually change the date to the original release date.

I'm also picky about track names having the proper capitalization, and if there's a featured artist it must be "(feat. artist name)". Basically I follow RYM rules for all that.

But if there's a bonus track on an album, that is NOT part of the track name. I will sometimes break that off into a separate album folder called "album name [Bonus Tracks]".

Definitely agree about them being split into Disk 1, Disk 2.

I have to have the song title, artist and album perfect. It effects last.fm otherwise. But I'm definitely not that anal about release date, etc.
