Gaming Music Organization

I've collected a fair bit of gaming music, to provide ambiance and mood depending on the game I run. I'm not always using my laptop, so I have a number of playlists on an old iPhone-cum-iTouch. I've included movie soundtracks, Celtic music, electronic music, popular tunes, and RPG Background Loops from Plate Mail Games (who is running a followup KickStarter to produce more gaming music and sound effects).

I'm working on just how to sort the tunes. Here are the general categories I use:

Fantasy:
  • Chase
  • Conflict
  • Ethereal
  • Long Tracks
  • Pastoral
  • Quiet
  • Quiet Builds
  • Romantic
  • Sinister
