Hi,You organize your files and folders in a manner that makes sense to you.
I am about to finish my digitalisation project and have put all my CD's in
mp3 format. For the moment all MP3's have been stored in one folder. There
about 22000 MP3 files. This is roughly 140 Gig.
Now my system is getting really slow. If I open the MP3 folder, to move
one
of the files, it takes ages before the file can be selected. The MP3's are
all on my internal drive (500 Gig). How do I organize the MP3's on my PC ?
Subfolders based on 'artist name' is no option as many artists names start
with "The". How many files can I put in one folder without loosing too
much
speed ?
Folders are searched sequentially. Thus, the more files, to slower the
access. Only you can know when the search starts taking too long.
Evidently, 22000 files is way to many to suit your preferences.
Jim
