Reorganizing Music Again

It wasn't that long ago, like a week or 2 ago, that I had to download all the cd's from my Dell DJ mp3 player to my computer then fix all the tags then put them back on my DJ but when I did that I didn't count on the fact that their file names had something to do with anything.  For example.  If a song says 01 Politik instead of Coldplay - A Rush of Blood To The Head - 01 - Politik then when I go to make a playlist I'm not going to know who the artist is or even which CD that song is from.

Yes, I am really anal about things like that lol.  I don't know why, I just am.  But it's not for no reason.  When I ride my bike sometimes there are songs that are way too loud or they don't have any sound at all then I have to pull over in the dirt on the bike trail, pull the remote control out of the bike frame bag and push the next button.  I don't want to have to do that because it slows me down and brings my average speed time down too.  It's also annoying to be riding happily then all of a sudden a song blares into your ears and then they start to bleed lol.  Or you don't hear anything for a minute before realizing you aren't going to but the song is playing.  I don't really understand how that song got put in there.  Also there is 1 song that is in there twice from Uncle Kracker.  I don't know how that happened.

So, I'm downloading the music to my computer and I will reorganize the names and write down what is going into the playlist and look at each song with a microscope to make sure my ride is full of good music and not annoying music.

Actually, I'd also like to just add the popular songs from certain CD's, the ones that made it to the radio, this way I can cut down on the amount of songs in my playlist which is typically between 550 and 600.  It's not going to be easy to weed through them all though, it will take hours, possibly days.  Well, at least I have something to do lol.
