Are you VGM perfectionist?

Hi... I wonder if any of you're perfectionist like me, in problem of ripping and OSTs versions of VGM. Just today I found the OST of Rockman EXE 6 (GBA) which I have the ripped version already... but eventually I download it for collector purpose. The sound quality in the OST is much better than the ones in my rip.

So I wonder if you behave just like what I did? Searching for the entire soundtracks even though you already have all of the ripped tracks tagged nicely and in the end you have the various version of the VGM: the rip and OSt.:juggler:

Well the problem is, such perfectionism actually consumes my HDD.

Double Post:
And since I paranoid, I also never intended to remove the original zip archive of soundtracks that I have downloaded, incase I the tracks I have copied got corrupted.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

this is just simple question, but might display your perfectionism: how do you name the folder of your VGM? do you use "Original Soundtracks" or "OST"?
for me, I prefer to use format like these:

Chocobo Dungeon ~Coi Vanni Gialli~ [SSCX-10016]
Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon 2 [PSF Rip] [SSCX-10026]
Rockman EXE Transmission [MP3 Rip]
Kingdom Hearts OST [7243-5-80453-21]

I don't know why, but sometimes these brackets and catalogue number beautify my VGM library . Weird huh?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just for reference, as far as I know, some PSF set are tagged according to the real OST, it's just for reference. I dont use catalogue number for set that arent' tagged improperly though. Take a look at these:

Atelier Iris Eternal Mana [PSF2 Rip]
Digital Devil Saga 3 - Nocturne [PSF 2 Rip]

Or perhaps I'm just obsessed with brackets.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to sound rude or anything. I am just curious.

Because currently GH is one of the largest VGM archive in the internet, plus it's direct download. It will be easier for laymen instead of using FTP, mIRC, etc. True, the ID3 tags maybe not really complete and some albums are incomplete, but hey, I wont complain anything.

Btw Sarah told us at the forum she got all the OSTs through VGM Central.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Of course, the silly cow still put it up on GH for download during her daily and sadly unstoppable downloading fests. That one has no brain, I tell you, as well as no knowledge and respect regarding game music. When it was told the truth, it still did nothing about it.

Maybe she's exist to download anything. lol. Seriously, It seems she will just download anything from VGM central. But I respect her a lot for providing wonderful site like GH.

What about sound quality? There is shocking variability in quality throughout and this must be contrary to your 'audiophilic' tendencies. And, of course, the tags. If you're lucky enough not to have something named '1.mp3', the ID3 tags are 95% guaranteed to be inaccurate anyway. Horrible resource, I tell you.

No, I'm not that perfectionist since my HDD is limited in space, I'm also not an audiophile so 160 kbps will be enough for me. But well, my speed is really2bad when talking about FTP, mIRC and Torrent, so I dont have other option but to leech from GH. Direct Download is the best for dial up user:juggler:

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
