As someone who had one of these, I'm just surprised there's any consistency at all

    There is rock hard consistency!

    I still use mp3s today (no spotify or similar bullshit) and stick to the name convention: [ARTIST_NAME]-[SONG_NAME].mp3

    I've used Spotify since about 2012, and have been considering setting up some *arr instances at some point in the future to remedy that. Music discovery is just so much easier on something like Spotify though.

    Mine are always [artist]/[album]/[tracknumber]-[title]

    I used to use Ogg, but I'm switching to Opus because it's a superior format.

    slashes in file names is just barbaric, if you use a good and free operating system, too :)

    No, I think those are the Windows people who put / in the file names, because back then Windows wasn't really restrictive about stupid file names. At least I think it isn't possible anymore, but can't confirm, because I don't use Windows for around 15 years.

    Long filename (LFN) Limits

    The long filename system allows a maximum length of 255 UCS-2 characters including spaces and non-alphanumeric characters (excluding the following characters, which have special meaning within the COMMAND.COM command interpreter of the operating system kernel: \ / : * ? " < > |).

    Edit: Markdown Code format issue?

    Mine is Artist name - Song name [(Version)] (Year)[(Bitrate)]

    Version is optional. It's stuff like Radio edit, remastered, extended, etc.
    Bitrate is optional as I switched to FLAC and rarely need to use MP3.
    The worst one I have is something from Beatles in 32kbps HE-AAC at 22.5kHz SR with name written in Chinese. It is one of the oldest files I have.

    I find it a little bit weird to put meta data in the file name. Meta data is already there and you can see it on your computer with the tool exiftool (if you're on a Linux system).

    But I think you're not on a Linux system, because you would avoid white spaces then :D

    Welp, not if you used to rip from YouTube. And the files ripped from Deezer have wrong year most of the time anyway because they used it for file creation date.

    And when my music touches my computer it's only because I am backing it up (as I should be doing). The only correct information is on CD rip of "The very best of Louis Armstrong" because I put that in myself using Kid3.

    Why should youtube media not have meta data? As soon media data was created, it automatically has meta data. If you create a music file, you get meta data like length, audio bitrate, sample rate, etc.

    But okay, you might mean data, which is not related to the file and can be added as meta data.
