so I ripped more CDs last night and I was in the process of tagging them. I begin to wonder if I should actually use genre considering some album/artists represent multiple genres.

thoughts? How do you classify/organize your local music collection? Thanks

    I wouldn’t say that I classify my collection solely by genre, although I do use Genre tags. For albums or DJ mixes that envelope multiple genres I use multiple tags with a delimiter. Ex. Hip Hop; Shoegaze; Alternative; Rock

    As for the directory or folder structure, it’s Artist - Album.

    The music server application that I primarily use, Logitech Media Server, offers full text indexed search. That is, every tag, including embedded lyrics and custom ones, are available for query in its client applications.
