What’s your directory structure right?

Are you storing everything in a flat directory or do you have things organised by author or alphabetically by title?

I’m talking about the actual files on your storage, not the front end.

So in each directory that I use to delineate a library, I have a subdirectory for each author (in sort order form). Within each author subdirectory is a subdirectory for each book, with just the title, then the book with " - ."

I didn’t invent this, it’s just what Calibre spits out. When I buy a new book, I ingest it into Calibre, fix any metadata and export it to the NAS. Then I delete the Calibre library - I’m just using it to do the neatening up work.

  It seems that author > book is pretty much the standard. Thank you
