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.
Picard can help you sort through most of it. It can identify most things even without tags. Just be careful and check everything it wants to do before letting it do its thing.
This is why thumb drives and write bits were made
As long as each music disc has it’s own folder
Practices from a sweaty teen that obviously loved during the time of CD changers, with a reflective self objectifying them as such. Obviously I’ve shown growth since based both on the OP and comments in this thread.
