=== File Naming ===

[[File:Musicbrainz.filenaming.jpg|File Naming options|right|400px]]

One of the important settings in MusicBrainz is to allow it to "Move Files" and to set a parent directory (e.g. ~/Music) for your collection so that music that is tagged becomes organized in your collection rather than in subdirectories nested below your existing (incongruent) directory structure.

One of the file system artifacts that come from using Windows is "desktop.ini" files in your music directories.  You can get rid of these with a simple find command

# look first before you leap

find ~/Music -name desktop.ini

find ~/Music -name '*.nfo' -exec rm {} \;

find ~/Music -name '*.m3u' -exec rm {} \;

One of the interesting notes about the project is that they've moved to using Git for managing their source code.
