Hi all,

First off i want to thank you all for all the great uploads you share with us all here. How do you all keep track of what youve got in the way of downloading everything? I'm trying to arrange my stevie downloads in order and it seems i'm downloading files i already have or missing something i don't have. Like all the shows and stuff. Is there a way youa ll organize your collection so you know what is what and what you have? lol, Hope i didn't confuse you all.

Well, I'm not very organized. The best I can do is just try to give it a real detailed label at the time of download, that I will understand when I come across this same file again it. Change the name of what the download is, so that it fits into your system. Someone else might have labeled it "Bella Donna" but you have to make it more detailed than that, so you will know if you run into that file again. Sometimes I have duplicate downloads and I am alerted to that if the time is the same. Then, I know it's probably the identical thing, with different names.

I separate Demos, Live Performances, and Remixes from regular album songs. There is a folder for each of those, and some have subfolders. For example, my "Demos" folder has folders for Wild Heart demos, Bella Donna demos, Rumours demos, etc.

I make a little album of about 10-18 songs of similar material and name it something cool like "Space Needle" or "Julia" so I can keep them organized.

For example:

Demos 3 - Dial The Number
1 - Dial the Number 3 (Master)
2 - Lily Girl
3 - Love You Enough (My Love Is Never Lost)
4 - Ghosts (unmixed)
5 - Starshine Silver
6 - Love and War
7 - I Sing For The Things (uptempo)
8 - Have No Heart
9 - Belle Fleur (studio demo)
10 - Keep Me Hangin' On
11 - The Children Go On
12 - And The Children Go On... (remix)
13 - Annabel Lee (rock mix)
14 - All The Beautiful Worlds
