I don't think that would be such a big deal. There are a lot of lvls getting upgrades etc. Also when u use passwod removal it modifies the lvl file. Whatever you do. I just always overwrite the older version of the lvl with the newer one.

That's actually a very good idea.

None of that really works...
Sorting by name -> music is mixed up with all the other files that is not music (JJ applications, j2t, j2l etc...).
Sorting by flile-type -> like I mentioned: there are too many filetypes of the music. s3m, xm, mod, it, 669, mp3, ogg, j2b.... You end up with 10 different sections of music files while sorting like that...

Besides, how would you want to "standardize" this? Either you use the original filename - or the filename under which you originally acquired the song, at least - or you don't. In the latter case you're probably too oblivious to heed any such "standard" anyway.

For example, forest.it, the one by Alexander Brandon (because there are AT LEAST 3 different "forest.it" out there) is really a Carrotus Forest or Greenland. I named it "Alexander Brandon - Greenland (Carrotus Forest)". Problem with that is that the name now has more than 32 characters (which is another big issue), but it could at least be called "Greenland (Carrotus Forest)" so it would stay out of confusion with other music named "forest".
