I organize them into
Source (Bandcamp, Deezer, etc) --> Artist - Album --> Files
The problem is when they’re perfectly organised in a different manner from what you expect :D

For the files themselves lately I’ve been doing something like
Country of Origin/Artist/Original Year - Album (Catalogue Number) (Release Year)/(used to do it without the country, but at one point they became way too many, and I don’t really like organising by letter or whatever). I love foobar2000 with Facets because of the fact that you can shove any arbitrary tag into the files and then have columns show it (I’m doing that with the countries for example), but I’m now suffering a bit because of that habit - I started also self hosting my library and Navidrome that I’m using doesn’t like just any tags that you throw at it (it especially doesn’t like it if you have multiple releases of the same album that have come out in the same year).Emerald@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Having Artist as a seperate folder is wild.

My view is that not having separate artist folders is wild, but hey, whatever works for you.
All in all however specific folder structure is not terribly important to me; what’s important is that the tags are in order and that I can make the app I’m using present the stuff in the manner that I want.

Perfectly organizing in 50 different ways has a name too

Now I’m sad that it already has a name - I don’t get to name my diagnosis.

Yeah I judge them by how they organise their collection.
