Can't say I am as consistent on this as I'd like (some lists etc. in particular I update frequently, and it is the current state that matters, don't want to have it attached to a particular date), but why anyone uses a date format other than this -- assuming they're not working with historical data or science-fiction universes where some other calendar matters -- is beyond me.
Not for music, but for many things I want all my filenames to start with at least yyyymmdd (rarely down to the minute), so I can look at it and instantly know the creation date.
