Is anyone else OCD about their iTunes?

I find that whenever I download/rip songs, I NEED to have the correct album artwork and all of the correct info on the song. And honestly, it's pretty damn annoying, but I can't stop now.

Does anyone else do this?

Im not super bad about it, I usually don't have the time to rename tracks and shit. My homie however has like 100 gigs of music that is all perfectly organized. He even takes all the songs that don't have albums and makes up album names for them.

i used to really badly, but then i started downloading so much that i couldnt really keep up with managing it. i just make sure it has the album and artist names and compilations are together.

Yes.  Every single song is correctly named and album (and 'Unknown' for those that don't).  Just do it whenever I add new tunes to the library.

all you Itunes OCD sufferers need to download ieatbrainz if you have a mac. it organizes all your music with the correct song name, artist, and album. Its very helpful.

i hate when i am listening to a friends ipod that is super un organized. i have to keep my itunes with at least artist and song correct. and i cant have "featuring" in the artist, it has to be in the song name.

Haha whenever an artist is featured on a song, I make sure it says "Lil Wayne - Red Magic (feat. The Game)" instead of "Lil Wayne feat. The Game - Red Magic" because that way it doesn't screw up my iPod.

Also, I need them all to say "feat." not "Ft." or "featuring" or "ft."

It blows.

Haha, I do exactly the same.

And all songs with the correct artist, album.

I've even listened to every single song in my iTunes, and deleted all the ones I didn't like, but kept the albums intact of course. So I can claim that all the music in my iTunes is stuff I like, even the shit stuff.

I am totally anal about it.  With 30 G of music and 20 G of video, it would be impossible to find anything that wasn't properly labeled and organized.

Haha I'm the same way.

Like someone said above me I hate when you look at people's Ipods and they aren't organized. They'll have 6 different lil wanye's with all the featured artists included and all the songs spread out. It's aweful.

haha wow, i thought i was a rare breed being super super anal about my itunes. i'm 25 now and have even recently been thinking about going through all 60+ GB of music and filling in the correct year for each song/album, so i can be like 'man, punk rock from the late 90's was so much better than the shit they put out now. let's make a smart playlist'. i'm a winner.

all my artists and titles are perfect, but my albums and album art are messed.
it sucks cause all my music is from blogs so the artwork is just the website(blog), not the actual artist/album
