Underscores in place of blanks in the file name?

[angopop]

What do you guys do for file names when it comes to creating final song files, do you leave spaces or capital letters?

Would you do, for instance:

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds mix 2

LucyInTheSkyWithDiamonds_mix2

lucy_in_the_sky_with_diamonds_mix_2

or some other variation, and why?

Probably something like

LucyInTheSkyWithDiamonds_mix2

But I just do it the way the libraries asks us to do it, it depends on the library.

All my file names use a catalog number (easier to keep track of) and there are no spaces. I came up with a scheme to identify the type of track. I assign an alias to that number which is the name that I use for the library. I built a database years ago to keep track of all this and it’s fairly seamless. As an example:

HR0001.0 = Hard Rock Song – Full Mix
HR0001.1 = Hard Rock Song – DnB
HR0001.2 = Hard Rock Song – Bed
