How do you organise your music singles? (lemmy.world)

iTunes, Rhythmbox, Quodlibet, Navidrome and the iPod are all good at organising albums. But for singles, I find it pretty tedious. They add a lot of clutter to the album art view with entries that only have one song attached to them. They also clutter the artist browser with entries with just one song attached.

At the moment I use music managers like those mentioned above for albums, but for singles I just have them all in one folder on my desktop that I drag into a simple music player (reAmp, a classic Winamp clone). I find it works well for easy listening. As a result, my music manager is clutter free with albums I can choose when I want to just "press play". But I don't have access when I'm away from my computer.

Has anyone else struggled with this?

I don't anymore, I just don't care if it's tagged right or what the album art is, any player worth its salt just filters through everything grep-like. It can be blank tags so long as there's bandname and songname in the filename. Sorry I'm no help, but you wrote tedium and I remembered and don't miss it.

Yeah, I feel you. I think anymore I’ll be taking the path of least resistance.
