I mean, it'd be easy to just put them in the order they are released, but I don't know how many songs we will eventually get and a single album with tons of songs would sort of be counter-intuitive.

I think I may do it by years (if this thing even lasts for years). All the songs we get in 2011 will be one album. SPRC 2012 will be the next. Etc.

I'm also fixing all the artist tags because they say "Smashing Pumpkins" rather than "The Smashing Pumpkins".

I have them grouped together under "SPRC Demos" for now since they seem to go well together and are more or less from the same era. If they release Adore or Machina demos, then those would get sorted with the other ones that I have x)

I'll probably wait a bit to see what all gets released and then sort it all by eras. I'm a huge OCD organizer and I'll want to group everything chronologically. I do sort of wish they would release stuff by era, but I'll be happy however they do it just as long as it gets done.

The only thing I'd like to see is some session info for each of these recordings. Corgan doesn't have to relate a story to each one (unless it's a track he wants to share a story of), but if they could put out a little info with each track- month/year it was recorded, studio it was recorded at, what other songs were recorded - essentially adding to the info present on SPFC, that's the only other thing I could ask for. Beyond that, I'm overwhelmingly pleased with what we've gotten so far.

i kept mine the way i downloaded them, and they sorted themselves.

the "album" is called simply SPRC, and then i added track numbers appropriate to their release (the numbers are also on the itunes image included with the file, which makes it easy).

the year doesn't matter, btw. just the album title. so if you're an anal about the chronology then date them all 2011, since thats the year they all finally saw a proper official release.

monte's right- the numbering system makes it easier. Mixes these days are no longer restrained by the length of CDs, so just go with it. The way i understand it, all gish/siamese stuff will come out in one year; because one year from now, mcis stuff will start to drop. You should just make an "sprc" playlist, and keep adding them in numerical order. Over time, as it gets longer, and you know more about what things are released, you could make 2 playlists: "gish era" and "siamese era". spfc.org should be more than enough help for determining which tracks would go where. Once things start being SOLD by sprc, you will have a much better idea about how to organize it, and what will come out. We see where the free tracks are going, but it remains to be seen what kind of tracks will be made available for sale.

This is going to probably sound dumb - but how can i access all three? I have been in Tibet for a month and must have missed this. I put my email into "Sign up" bit and got Drown, but i never received anything more? Is it an email link or something i missed out on?

Click on one of the speakers to the left near the bottom to recieve Suicide Kiss and move your cursor to the right of the rat at the bottom until you see a red rat outline, click on that one to get Barb Wire.

Yeah Monte is right. Keep it sorted how it is for now - I love how the artwork is numbered too!
I wonder if the the stuff we pay for is going to be in bulk... like pay a certain amount for this set of demos they did at whatever studio - then I guess that would be under a different album and different artwork.

why not make it black and white simple? categorize all SP songs as:

a) the shit
b) shit
