Re: Importing - What pattern do you use?

So "Artist - Title - Disc Id would be better but that's just my opinion. Alternately you can always set the field order to Ignore Track #.
MTU recommends naming Artist with "Last name, First name" order but that could cause you more problems, they will still import OK using the import hard drive files dialog. What you need to think about is how they list in the songbook, if you already have songs listed as" Last name, First name" order then import others as "First name Last name" your songbook will end up a jumble.
I need to use track no and disc ID when adding in songsfrom a disc already started as often Hoster will NOT always put them in alphabetical order as they appear in the new folder of added songs. I also add "z" at the beginning of each newly added song as I put them in the folder thats already started, as this will order the new batch correctly, and the following batch will get." Zz" before the song name, and so on.
