Hey all, I just happened upon a trove (~100gb) of MP3s from when I was a sweaty teenager with a DSL line and a 5-disc ripper. Anyone have recommendations on OSS toolsuites to begin indexing/sorting out the files? Everything apparently got flat dumped from a directory structure to a folder. There’s metadata in about 90% of the content - ~10k songs to sort through shouldn’t be too rough with hashing.
I’d be more than willing to seed once everything is in a happy place, there’s probably a few hundred studio cuts of songs that haven’t seen the light of day yet.
Sounds like a good task for MusicBrainz Picard
Now that’s a name I haven’t seen in a loooooooong time. Excellent tool last time I used it…about 15 years ago.
Good recommendation.
I used this very recently to clean up multiple iPod backups (80-120GB) from my high school days. You still need to delete duplicates manually, but the software makes the task immensely easier.
