Are you VGM perfectionist?

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?

I don't do that. I use "Original Soundtrack", "Oriiginal Sound Version", ect. when I name my folders. I also don't put the catalog number in the folder name. I put that in the "Comment" section of the ID3 tags.

One thing though:

Why would you put the catalog number with that when it's a rip and not the actual soundtrack? :P

Lastly, I would like to know your response to the question Mr. Maul posed to you here:

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

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I have to agree with Mr. Maul here. The way GH is setup is a mess. If their staff were serious about providing music to the masses, they would take the time to organize everything they download before they present it to everybody. I stay away at all costs. Though, eriol, I do understand where you're coming from with the speed issue. On a slow connection, torrents and such can be troublesome and stressful to use. Direct downloads are usually the only efficient option.

As far as myself, I don't think I'd call myself a vgm "perfectionist". I think the term "vgm enthusiast" suits me more. I like having my ID3 tags and filenames properly setup. When an album is composed by multiple people, I try hard to find out who composed which songs. Also, when a game has different names in Japan and the US, I normally use the one where the album originated, I.E.: "Eternal Arcadia Original Soundtrack" instead of "Skies of Arcadia Original Soundtrack". When it comes to quality, I'm not an audiophile so I'm not into the whole lossless scene. I prefer to have the album in VBR, but if not, 192 CBR is fine, 160 CBR is tolerable and 128 CBR is acceptable only if it's a very RARE album. And as always, if it's an album I really like, I look to gain a physical copy of it at some point.
