you guys should really learn to name your MP3s so that when we the listeners are enjoying these delightful tunes, we can actually find the music we’re listening to…

e.g. of what NOT to do (not picking on tero, just using as example) ::
disarmmp3.mp3

e.g. of what to do ::
tero - Destination Disarm.mp3

just a tip to be more "user-friendly". we live in a computer driven world where (hopefully) everybody has an OS (windows, macOS, Linux…) that supports long filenames. i mean, the ID3 info is half-way complete on most tracks i hear, why can’t ya’ll drop that nice ID3 info into the mp3? why the perverted, unreadable shortened track names?? must this be? :)

A very valid point. I for one will be more careful in the future. Just for conversations sake, this is how it happens. I name my original WAV file correctly but when I convert to MP3 I have to use a different name. I then go back and change the name on the MP3 file (most of the time). Sometimes this last step gets missed. Uploading at 2 am doesn’t help either. I know this is no excuse but I will make an effort to name my files correctly in the future. Thanks for your comments. : )
