can anyone here provide me with a good way to organize all your media on mac os x?
Right now I have a folder called Media, and inside that I created 2 folders. One called TV shows and the other Movies.
For TV Shows, I am not sure how to set it up. Do i need folders with the season names and then inside that folder all the video files for that season?
And inside Movies I have a folder for each movie. Is this the best way to do this?
And for the rest of my media which is my music and photos. I am using iTunes so my music is stored in my ~/Music/iTunes Music I believe. Should I create a folder called Music and copy all my songs to it and then move it inside my media folder? So it will be all in one place? I'm afraid that will mess up my itunes. I also want to be able to see album art for all my music. I know under itunes they are all there but in xbmc some have them and some don't. Not sure why.
Also I'm not sure how i would share photos since its in a database that only iPhoto can understand. Any suggestions on that?
