I'm in the middle of moving my iTunes library from one computer to another and I'm having a tough time figuring out what the best way to label live shows so they are easy to browse in iTunes and on an iPod.
Back in the analog days of Maxell Tapes I like a lot of other folks had a way of labeling shows so it was easy to locate the tape you where looking for and in my case, and really satisfied my OCD . For example an old school tape back might look like this (disregard the ______ it was the only way I could get it to hold the place of Set I):
Grateful Dead_____________________Set I
9/10/91 Madison Square Garden, New York
The iTunes format that I have been seeing more and more of tends to look like this:
1991/9/10 Madison Square Garden, New York
I find this format really irritating because of the obvious irregularity of having the year first. I understand there needs to be some way to group shows together and by year seems a logical choice but for me it's just to many numbers and slashes to quickly find what you want to listen to .
So I'm just wondering what you guys favor for the iTunes formant. Thanks.
