Best way to store digital music files?
I am trying to organize all me mp3s in one place... I have a NAS but that seems to always be in sleep mode when I need to access it from my iMac... Thinking I just need to get a usb drive and load it up.
What do you guys/gals use???
Thx!

If storage, just get a SSD.
For storage, I have a 1TB Portable Hard Drive
I am extremely anal about this, and took a long time to put all my files in a uniformed catalog
I have the files organized by
>Act "Pearl Jam"
>Year Album (like "1991 Ten") so the folders appear in order. My bootlegs are in their own folder (in Pearl Jam), and a folder for each year, and the folder listed as something like: "19950205 Moore Theatre Seattle, WA
>Tracks are listed with the number first, such as 01 Once, and 02 Even Flow so the tracks are listed in order. If it is a multi-disk album, I make it 01 01 xxxxx, 01 02 xxxxx.... then the second disk is 02 01 xxxxx, 02 02 xxxxx and so on.
I also modified the properties of each track, such as track number, genre, track name, year, artist, album, etc. You can highlight every mp3 file to change most things (but track number and track name done individually)
I don't even own a computer or a thumb drive.
The last time I saved something personal, it was on one of these.
