OK, so i've searched the forums... here goes....
I'm going to set up a distributed audio system, and am some way on with sorting out the hardware. X-boxes figure large as the players via a home network.
The question is, for ease of indexing the tracks, what is the best format to log the data? I'm about to emabark on ripping 400+ audio CD's, and whilst I have found data for the best quality to use, no-one has suggestedd the best format for the file naming conventions to ease indexing....
should it be directory based - artist/album/track.mp3?
should it be literal my music/artist-album-track.mp3
or what?
Someone MUST have done this before!!
