Is your iPod "organized" ?
 

This is something that I noticed whenever I use a friend's iPod, they're always chaotic :thud It takes so much time to find a song, some albums or artists are listed twice, and most of the songs are missing the cover art =S.
As for my iPod, I always make sure that all the names are spelled correctly so that the names wouldn't be duplicated, list the tracks in the correct order, and take the trouble to find every single cover art (unless I don't like it, lol)

What about you guys ? Are you crazy about keeping everything perfect like me ?

yes... always~~~

the album, artist, year and cover is a must~

Yeah it is! All album covers, even the correct tracknumbers, years, composers... and if there's something wrong, I'm able to spend hours for making it allright.
And from each artist I've at least 5 tracks. Yeah, I'm a control freak when it's all about my iPod-player.

Mine is very organized =)
every single song is orrganized directly in iTunes if I get one ^^

I know what you mean, my cousin's ipod is so nice yet so messy, I don't have an ipod, but I do have a zune and I always make sure everything is correct, the second I put something new on there I have to go and edit the album info so nothing comes up wrong. Had to reformat my zune and edit all my albums and singles all over again and it took forever but imo it's worth it.

YES ALWAYS~!

When I feel like it..
Oh wait, I don't even had an iPod but I use iTunes XD

I always make sure my iPod is organized. :yes

As long as all the basic info is in the tags to correctly catalog an album, I'm satisfied.

I don't bother with cover art though because I don't like how my iPod always takes a few seconds to load it when I'm browsing - and there's also the issue with non-square album art not showing up right. :P

Mine isn't organised AT ALL. And that isn't even my fault. My iPod is arounfd 5 years old (its a 5th gen) and its obviously in horrible condition! Sometimes it hangs randomly and I have to wiat for the battery to die out and need to recharge it everytime. Plus, it crashes evertime I plug it into my computer which is why I avoid doing so, so I have to stick with my old songs for quite some time. And everytime I do plug it in, I have to restore my iPod, which means, I gotta delete everything.

Keeping all that in mind, my songs are all over the place, but I guess I'm used to it.

Yes. I keep it as organized as it can be.

I hate how iPod is limited to square cover art and if I put singles there and then the album with the singe songs I have to make a playlsit for the album with the single songs being from the singles because of the play counts and not having same track wasting space.

Even though I don't have many time to spare organizing, I always try to put on at least artist, album, correct name of the song, cover art and year

@aqua crystal: I've had 6 different iPods and most of them had all those problems, specially the hang and crash, or even worst ones.... it seems they're designed to last less than a year :laugh

nope, its just like a shuffle list now

Yes!!! Every single artist's name has to be spelled correctly and categorized under the same thing, (so Ayu's name is all in kanji) all of my songs have to be correctly capitalized and spelled right, my albums have to have the right cover art, all of the albums have to have cover art in the first place, and my playlists have to have specific names, i.e. "Cleaning Playlist"... My videos must be organized by TV Show, Movie, PVs, and "Other." My photos must be in specific folders, and every picture must be named something other than the url of the site it came from~

I'm veeery picky, lol :P But I like to be well-organized so I can find my things quickly and easily ;)

No, my iPod isn't organized because I don't own one, lol. But, I get what you mean, and yes my mp3 player is totally organized. Artist, song name, year, album, genre all of that is totally organized. I'm completely crazy about it.

Yes.. It was organized. Sadly, my iPod broken about 2 years ago :(

YES! I'm pretty much OCD about it.

Yes. I have specific ways of tagging, but I also have a million different playlists. I normally normally listen to my music based off of playlists. There is not a song on my iPod that it's not in a playlist.

Absolutely. Some of the stuff I put on when I first got it doesn't have cover art and it drives me crazy when I see it :laugh

Yes, of course it is. If it wasn't, it would be so hectic finding what I want on my ipod.

yeah. name, album title all organized except cover and lyrics

I try to keep mine as organized as possible! The most important thing are the covers. Then the artist and year of course.

I'm also really addicted to making playlists, and making custom covers for podcasts, haha.

very organised...all artist and album names spelled correctly and even capitalised correctly. cover pics in place. even all the playlists are made to be 1h16min long!!!

I'm very anal about my iTunes; everything is tagged exactly as the album, I have cover art for everything, etc. my iPod is, of course, the same way.

totally...I can be up to 2 in the morning just trying to organize it or I'll feel uneasy the next day~

I make sure I have the right cover, the right tags and the right spelling, and the lyrics...

Last FM made me who I am today :yes

^ yes, last.fm totally made me anal, too! I used to not care at all about tags/artwork lol.

Sort of. My album art, artist, track and album names are always all correct.

But I don't care about things like lyrics or track numbers, and my genres are a hot mess.

of course, is one of my obsesions in fact :3
The only "problem" some months ago was the correct way to write the name of the japanese singers, now is in the past. My iPod and iTunes are almost perfect

I ALWAYS have correct artist name, song name, and correct album/single covers. My iPod is so organized and perfect XD I luv it

Yep, super organized. Can't be more organized than this.

Always have every cover to every album/singles/songs. Every song title under every respective albums and singles. With the names of the artists and everything.

YES I HAVE OCD! When it comes to my iPod or any songs for that matter.

yes, because my itune sis at high clas organisation level ~ ww

There should be an option "I don't have an iPod" ;)

But yes, my phone is very organized. Correct album titles, song titles, cover-art, artists, everything! :)

It's not an iPod, it's an mp4 in my case.

In terms of album name, artist, track numbers and such, it's always organized; it doesn't always have cover art though because it's too much work sometimes.

But of course
Everything I listen to on it has to have Cover art, Artist name, Song name, Album name, Genre, track number

It takes a bit of effort, especially when I first started organising it and everything was a mess, nothing had cover art and it was just generally bad... but now I'm happy with it ^_^

My iPod is really organized. I'm very, very anal about all my tags.

Yes! Though I've been waaaay to lazy at the moment D:

Lol, Im so alone. I dont have time nor will to organize it. I just put some random tracks or albums on my ipod and I listen to it lol.

But I keep it organized at my home in my comp.

I do by artist and album name. I make sure I all the track spelled correctly with HQ artwork and I've even started putting lyrics in.

Lately though, it getting kinda messy i need to clean it.

Always always always.

I must have at least, the artist, album, proper name, track number, disc number, if it's a compilation, and bitrate.

Cover art is a must for me sometimes, but there have been times when I added so many albums...that...sometimes they didnt have the cover and I couldnt be bothered to go find it.

But it does annoy me not having the cover. It's mostly my lesser artists that dont have covers.

Totally OCD.

100% organized. I listen to my iPod every single day. the tidiness of the library is a must to me ^^

YES! if its not i get soooo mad!! the moment i get a new album/song i have to put the correct tags, names, artworks, lyrics etc!

i try my best :D
cover art (not all though), singable lyrics, song info. I still havent figured out why some artists and albums appear twice on my iPod, dunno how 2 fix >.<

^sometimes there is a gap after the artist or between the japanse signs whcih makes them different

Oh god yes.

Every artist has to be spelled correctly, songs in order, album artwork. If one thing messes up on me on the ipod it bothers me for the whole day until i can go on my laptop and fix it :P

this ! I don't put lyrics, but artists, name of songs are organized and i'm freaking out every time i see a mistake LOL ! For example (That's for iPod touch owner) when you put a song on ur iPod and you didn't notice that in lyrics, there's "sgfsfs@ileaks" so that "copyright" will appear XD

yes, i'm very OCD about it. haha. :P

tags, cover art, kanji/correct spelling, you name it!

Of course!!! I'd tear my hair out if it wasn't!!! I can't stand it when songs are titled improperly or the tags are all weird :no.

^it drives you so up a wall you pms all over everyone else and blame the first person you see walking down the street for your ipod incorrect ocd insanity!! jk

my psp is 97% organized. I say that because some songs just don't have all information, and i hate entering in wrong information like ayu's "it was (island mix)" there is no album title, track number, album art, or release date for it. so I just usually leave it blank. same thing with fanmixes, not all fanmixers release their stuff on fanmix albums with information and album art. alot of times its a single track they just finished and wanted to share it, so there's absolutely no info on it.

and I actually have album art for 99% of all the songs on my psp but fsr they don't always show up, so it looks like it has none.

and lastly, I have tons of songs not in english, and fsr my psp can't read german. from what I've tested, it only can't read german, and i only have 1-5 german songs on there, it leaves the title blank, so instead of putting in the correct german title with all the accents and marks and special characters, i have to type it in english phonetic. which sucks, doesn't do it for any other language. not korean, chinese, japanese, russian, french, or spanish. weird. :/

thats why i have a giant album named "various" and i label any weird track like "it was (island mix)" or fan remixes as "various."

Sometimes it likes to act retarded and just do it for no reason so in itunes you have to enter the same artist in the "Album Artist" category. And sometimes if that box at the bottom "part of a compilation" is check or not checked that can mess it up too.

YES! I love organizing my iPod and I'm such a strict tagger that I had to make everything right :yes

I spend so much time organizing it, and finding album covers, and naming the songs, it is kind of a fun process :3

Yea, but I'm not OCD about it. I prefer to NOT have cover art because it always screws up if I have to redo my library, and I don't browse my ipod via cover art anyway.

another obsessed-to-the-point-of-OCD YES!!!

YES! EVERY SINGLE THING IS A MUST! Song Name, Artist... EVERYTHING! ;DD

My friends' iPods are a disaster omg ! That's scary, there are like 1000 tracks in UNKNOWN LMFAO ! How do you find your song o_O

mmm somewhat...

I don't bother with the years or composers. Everything else is done tho.

an interesting tidbit is i always use the romanized titles, I used to have the kanji titles but i gave that up.

As much as I can, yeah. :)

No not really lol I still need to organize it XD but I dont really feel like it and don't use it that much so I don't care :)

How organized my iPod is is something I'm really picky about. The album cover has to be on there, the titles need to be right (in Ayu's case, the capital letters), etc.

Whoa is mee... xD

Definitely...almost to the point of OCD.
I like this organized!

Yes!
I love my iPod, I love that it CAN be so organised and I love that you can put in cover art for every song. So yes yes, I keep it organised always!

yes! :D i spend hours for just organizing my ipod...haha :D

yes! haha..I just got mine. Must have is the title, cover, artiste...year not so much

Yey I keep my iPod organized just like yours. I hate wrong names, titles, covers, etc. ^^

Yes, I organize everything in iTunes even before listening to an album or single! XD
Must have the cover (in HQ lol), dates, tracks, album info, even romanizations just Japanese or Korean song titles too!

Oh yeah, I'm also a freak when it comes to organising my music (even if it's iTunes or my iPod)

I'm especially obsessed about every song having covers >.<

of course. why would I want my iPod to be a mess? When it can look so nice with artwork, ratings etc...

lol im a perfectionist when it comes to my ipod. gotta have the right info!!!

Yup, except sometimes covers won't show up, but whatever..frees up space for more music, haha

I'm only obsessive about it because of last.fm though. :P

Yes!... Always! I could spend hours ordering mine...
Hate when I take friends' iPod and are so messy... the same artist repeated like 10 times w/1 song each O_O no album cover, misspelled (specially hate that X_X) in the end, I can't find the song I want... LOL

omg I kno rite? My friend had Taeyang three times lol! (Taeyang, Tae Yang, and his Korean symbols) I'm just like "Srsly"

Of course. When it happens that it isn't I just feel like Alice in Wonderland. xD

Yes, it's is. :P I'm also crazy 'bout covers, tags and etc.

Yes. My itunes has to be organized - genre, artist, album, album art, year if I can get it. If I don't organize it, it'll drive me crazy. I tore through my best friends music library for hours straightening it up. :lol

Mine's all organized cos I cant stand it when it's messy. Except there's no cover art cos I have an ipod mini :P

YES :yes

Everything in my iPod must be perfect, cover-art, lyrics, composer, track numbers, it's all there.

Technically, I have an mp3-player, but the fact stands that it's almost obsessively organized.

Most definitely I'm organized. I'd totally have a nervous breakdown if my iTunes and iPod are wrong. Everything has to be perfect. I could seriously spend hours just tagging it all right. I don't even listen to songs if any piece of info is missing.

hell to the YES! artist, album, track no., year, genre and the cover art! MUST be square!
but i keep my album tracks different. i squeeze in the b-sides to the album where the a-side is located but keep the proper sequence of album tracks. i dont like an album with only two tracks so i keep them long. i also try to keep the squeezing of b-sides different. hahaha. like for momusu, i add the b-side before the a-side. or for yui, i add them all in the end. or for koda kumi, i spread them where they fit best :D. i also have different genres, like J-Diva, J-H!P, W-Music. hehehe. OCD MUCH! but no to kanji. because the iphone doens't recognize them when i do voice control. T_T

Another obsessive one to add to the lot. I have to have my iPod organized correctly, proper music genres labeled, proper capitalization of titles and artists, proper album artwork, and so on... If I spot one mistake it will eat my mind away until I can fix it. And if a song isn't from a official album (aka fan remixes or just random obscure songs) they get filed into one of two albums I made myself, "HYPER TRANCE MUSIC COMPILATION" and "MUSiC Collection". I even made nice artwork for them and everything.

I also agree with everyone here about looking at my friend's iPods/MP3 players and seeing them all screwy. So irritating.

Oh hell yes. I can't keep anything neat/clean, with the exception of my iPod and my Ayu CDs.

I also add the b-sides to the end of each album until a b-side collection is released...I hate stand alone songs floating around
and I do a second disc with all remixes an alternate versions of an album era

YES!!! I think it would be impossible for me not to have an organized iPod... It would drive me completely crazy^^
