So. I used to have itunes, which allows u to consoldiate library or soemthing, which basically like organizes ur music into one folder, and withih that folder it's organzed by artist--->album---> then song files, but now i am using winamp, and i'm wondering if there is any other way of auto-organizing ur music, so i dont have to do it by hand thanks guys!
with winamp i dont think so...i usally just drag and drop the music i want to listen to atm into the player im using.
You can organize music manually in WinAmp, but that's about it. There are not to many free players that will do it for you, stick to iTunes.
dam amateur winamp users lool the organising of music files in winamp is more advanced than WMP or itunes Ive used winamp for like 2 years and i love it so ii got my own custom advanced title format to display my songs in the playlist manager - I will tell you how : When you go into options>preferences>titles You will see a box that has for example [%album%] - [%title%] - something along those lines - That displays album first then the title of the song and is the main feature of sorting your songs in your playlist My format is complex since mine displays this [screenshot] I sort by albums since i dont have single tracks so i need them in album sortings so ... my format is album - track number - artist - song - [ year - format - bitrate ] < Last 3 are extras so you wont want them If you want that in winamp format to use you have to type: [%album% - ][$num(%track%,2) - ][$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%) - ]$IfStrNotEqual(%artist%,$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%),[%artist% - ])[$if2(%title%,$filepart(%filename%))][$if($fileext(%filename%),' [ ',)][%year% | ][$fileext(%filename%) ][$if(%bitrate%, '|' ,)][%bitrate% 'kbps' ][$if($fileext(%filename%),']',)] Thats mine but ive used it for years so most wont understand so i will shorten it for you to .. [%artist% - ]$if2(%title%,$filepart(%filename%)) - $if2(%album%,No Album) That displays artist - title ie trackname - album - You can always swap them around wont cause any problems - Most know what if statements are ... for example the title part has if ... that means if the music file has a title tag display that or display the filename depending on whats true - Copy and paste into the advanced title box in options If you go to that screenshot .. top right you will see all albums etc .. to refresh your tracks with the new title display double click that ... then at the bottom you see SORT - click by title - I am using the MMD3 skin so im not sure where the sort button is now if you are using default thats about it I hope it helps
