Every single song currently in iTunes/Traktor (all 411GB worth) looks like this:
technics 1210 - luca morris [the original mix - but I don’t put that in - unecessary detail]
back to basics (dubspeeka mx) - dubspeeka
japanese snowbell (guy j mx) - hernan cattaneo & soundexile
o’ so (maya jane coles mx) - inxec & mark chambers
no exceptions
no artwork - because it doesn’t match
Sitting in my office, but I know exactly what my S4 looks like in my studio right now:
cross-fader - dead centre
all buttons - 12 o’clock
jogwheels - traktor logo in 9 o’clock/3 o’clock position
deck level sliders - at the bottom
tempo sliders - dead centre
cue & mike knobs - recessed at 7 o’clock
Beyond OCD… with everything unfortunately. My car must always be clean, inside and outside and if my rims aren’t shiny there is a problem. If anyone uses it and doesn’t reverse park and keep the wheels straight I get pissed.
My level of song organization for DJing is beyond silly, folders and sub folders and sub folders. It looks like a complete mess but it totally works for me. Then there’s my books and movies which are all in proper alphabetical order and if that’s ruined I will lay down the law. Then there’s all my daily routines I do in the exact same way at the same time… Oh it never ends.
Dude! I used to think I had a lot with 200g on my old laptop.
When it comes to production of any kind I’m an absolute perfection. (Which is why my logo making takes a bit of time)
When it comes to irl, I’ll typically find myself opening and closing every cabinet in the house multiple times in a circle. I have to turn left around tables and islands, not right (I’d be pro at nascar). Rearranging ANYTHING small to be neat.
I have OCD just with my music collection. I bave almost a terabyte of music and its all labeled the same. Folder name is the artist, inside fders are the album names, inside files are the names of songs. My friends drool over my music collection for being so vast and organized. I was a teenager when napster blew up so the music world was my oyster for a while…
Haha, definitely readjusting my S4 every time I’d done, it bugs me to look at it all over the place in the idle state.
Not so much with the music collection oddly enough, have been meaning to re-organize my folders for some time now. But I guess so far I mostly know where to find stuff or where to go to if I don’t have that “next tune should be this” idea in my head at the moment.
I keep my place very neat and tidy, and my music is very organized in iTunes. My car, washed bi-weekly and vacuumed, very tidy as well.
I think people have gone too far with calling everyone neat “OCD”.
It’s lazy slobs who started to point at their neat friends and said “You are so OCD!” to compensate for their slob-ism.
We may be anal retentive, but probably not really OCD.
True OCD usually involves repeating the same action over and over again:
“There are many types of obsessions and compulsions. Examples include:
Checking and rechecking actions (such as turning out the lights and locking the door)
Excessive counting
Excessive fear of germs
The compulsion to repeatedly wash the hands to ward off infection”
I have major OCD when it comes to a lot of things but other things I’m just very, very neat about. I also have things that can look a total and utter mess but if I know what’s in that mess and nobody touches it I’m happy to tackle it in my own time. It’s quite strange what I do..
Honestly, I am not that tidy of a person, but there are somethings that I can not just let go… Give me a rats nest of wires and I will sit there for hours to take them all apart and separate each one and then coil them neatly before using or storing them away.
this one is especially for PhotoJojo
