Firstly, I'm rather anal when it comes to the technical quality of the mp3. If it ain't VBR then it ain't goin' in my music folder (unless of course there are no alternatives). If I have a choice between a 192kbps rip and a lossless (e.g. FLAC) version, then I will download the FLAC, and decode/encode it with the VBR option that is considered the best at the present. Then again, I'm not that anal in this regard since I still want my hard drive space.

Another thing that quite annoys me is "ALL CAPS TRACKNAMES", "Tracknames with one WORD that is capped", and "First word has a capital letter but the rest don't". The latter two ain't as annoying as the first though. I also like correcting obvious typos in tracknames. Oh, and I also like to spell the "proper" British way.

I also demand consistency in the artist tags.

For example, depending on who tagged it, the artist could be "Shiro Hamaguchi" or "Shirou Hamaguchi". I use Winamp v5.0's media library feature (Though I might check out Foobar sometime to check what all the fuss is about), so if I am in the mood to listen to arranges of Final Fantasy music, then I could click on his name to listen to his works. Therefore it is rather annoying when I have a "double" entry as in the case above. This is similar to variations of "Falcom Sound Team JDK", "Sound Team JDK", "Sound Team J.D.K", etc...

To summarise, I like consistency.

On a rather unrelated note, where does the "h" come from in regards to Japanese names (e.g. Kaori Asoh, Risa Ohki, Koh-Ichi Seiyama) since AFAIK there is no "h" in the Japanese "alphabet". Or is it because it's originally Kaori Asoo with a long "o" sound, so when written it comes out as "oh".

How ya doing, buddy?
