Requirements:
1. Mp3tag Download
2. Mp3 Folder Structure Maker
3. Foobar2000 (optional)

Step 1:
- Try to delete music you don't like or don't listen to anymore. I understand that most of you have a large hard disk. However, deleting music will make this job easier as well make your library more favorable.

Step 2:
-Convert any .wma files to .mp3. I personally use lame.exe with foobar2000. Place the executable in the foobar directory, filter search results in foobar to ".wma" then Select all -> right click -> convert -> MP3 lame. Finally, delete the .wma files from your music library.

Step 3:
-Install the latest version of mp3tag (if you haven't already). Add the directory containing all your music files. Try removing any unnecessary metadata like comments, BPM, composer, discnumber (if you only have one of the discs). Install Mp3 Folder Structure Maker.

Step 4:

-Section 4.1: Composers (Classical music)
If you own classical music, it doesn't make sense to have metadata other than "artist" and "title". So, separate all your classical music into a folder, and add the directory to mp3tag. Remove all other metadata "e.g. album, track", then make sure there is a title and artist for each song, an artist being the composer (not performer) of the piece (e.g. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart), finally change the genre of all the songs to "Classical". Select all the files in mp3tag -> Convert -> Tag to filename, use the following "%artist% - %title%".

Add this directory to MP3 Folder Structure Maker, use the following folder structure "%artist%" and keep the file structure. Choose a suitable output directory.



-Section 4.2: Singles
Look for albums that have only one song, one-hit wonders, and songs that lack "album" metadata. Place them in a folder called "Singles". Add the directory to mp3tag, remove album art (optional), and reset track number to zero. If possible, try to search for missing metadata (album, year). Select all the files in mp3tag -> Convert -> Tag to filename, use the following "%artist% - %title%". It's not required to use MP3 Folder Structure Maker.

For featuring artists, keep the main artist in the artist field. Change the title to "song name (feat. 2nd artist). The file name structure won't change.



Section 4.3: Soundtracks
-Look for albums that are soundtracks. Put them in a folder and add the directory to mp3tag. Make sure to add any missing metadata information (especially artist, album, year, track number), and change the genre of all songs to "Soundtrack". Update the album art of each soundtrack (Tag sources -> Cover Art -> Amazon.com), select a decent resolution (300x30 and above). Select all the files in mp3tag -> Convert -> Tag to filename, use the following "%album% - %artist% - $num(%track%,2) - %title%". Add directory to MP3 FSM, and use the following folder structure "%album% - %artist% [%year%]" and keep the file structure. Choose a suitable output directory.

For soundtracks with various artists, use the following folder structure "%album% - Various Artists [%year%]", and the following file structure "%album% - $num(%track%,2) - %artist% - %title%".



Section 4.4: Albums
Look for albums that are not soundtracks. Put them in a folder and add the directory to mp3tag. Make sure to add any missing metadata information (especially artist, album, year, track number), and keep the genre of all songs (or change them to something suitable with the album). Update the album art of each soundtrack (Tag sources -> Cover Art -> Amazon.com), select a decent resolution (300x30 and above). Select all the files in mp3tag -> Convert -> Tag to filename, use the following "%artist% - %album% - $num(%track%,2) - %title%". Add directory to MP3 FSM, and use the following folder structure "%artist% - %album% [%year%]" and keep the file structure. Choose a suitable output directory.

For albums with various artists, use the following folder structure "Various Artists - %album% [%year%]", and the following file structure "%album% - $num(%track%,2) - %artist% - %title%".



Section 5:

Get over WMP. I prefer foobar. It's highly customizable, neat, fast, and light on system resources. Organize music by folder structure.

I need to do this but it looks like a lot of work.
