[ Idea for file convention: [ [ artist_album_track-number_title.[ogg-q or mp3-kbps].extension [ various-artist-album_track-number_artist_title.[ogg-q or [ mp3-kbps].extension Even though I suggested that we put MP3 and OGG in the filename rather than having a directory for each, I have to say the opposite for artist and album names. Artist should be a directory (we'll just have "Yello", right?), and each Album should be a subdirectory of the Artist. No matter what character you use to separate Artist, Album, and Title, I've found that there's always some song title that has that separator character in the actual title. So, it would just be: NN-title.{ogg,mp3,shn} i.e. the Track Number would always be two digits. This isn't much of a limitation since CD cannot handle more than 99 tracks, and I doubt vinyl can even get to 99. :-) The idea of OGG Quality and/or MP3 bit rate is possibly one we should go with.
