Put your NAME in the filename of downloads
-
@timfatchen Feb 2022
if you allow a download, please: put your name or FAWM handle in the filename, not just the name of the song. Five years time, I'll be listening to a download and wondering: "downloaded this because it was/is brilliant but who the hell WAS it?"
(Yes I know a lot of you tag your songs, but tags don't show in some players, and don't leap out in directories (at least not Windows directories). -

@timfatchen Thanks for the reminder. I used to do that then forgot about it just last year. I labelled them: <my name><song title><version>

I do metalfoot-collaborator-title or metalfoot-xx-title for my solo stuff. Helps me find it later, to be honest.

@darcistrutt Feb 2022
I added my name at the end and the date at the beginning. Mostly for my own organization. Good reminder though!

@aflinner Feb 2022
Once I start uploading this year, I’ll try to remember to do this. Good idea, thanks.

@cts Feb 2022
Yep - gotta keep that in mind!

@tuneslayer Feb 2022
I'll try to remember, but honestly I have enough trouble remembering to enter tags.

@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Good idea ! I keep a file for each of the downloads with the persons name! Yup ive got caught and not been able to play loads of songs!

@nadine Feb 2022
+1 Thanks for the reminder. I usually keep filenames short and use ID3 tags.
-
@timfatchen Feb 2022
@tuneslayer I didn't even KNOW about tags for years, and still forget...but a filename's gotta exist so if it's in the filename....
-
@tcelliott Feb 2022
Also, I just save as and rename the file most of the time. When I import into some mp3 players the filename gets rewritten to the ID3 tags and that can be confusing as well, depending on what's in there.
