I'm still too daunted to attempt to go through 300+ MiB of mp3s but I'd roughly use the following method (iTunes is absolutely not an option either):ġ. Posted by sacrifix at 5:32 PM on February 19, 2012īest answer: I have this exact same problem. This may or may not answer your question, but that's some of what I do I've been working on the rankings for quite some time and only have about 5000 songs in my 'generic' playlist, but I consistently like every song that comes on out of the 17000 or so songs on my iPod. And another for all of the songs that are unranked so I can go through and rank them. I also have a playlist for all of the songs I have ranked 3 stars or higher and all of the songs I have ranked 5 stars. Basically the way that it works is that I have a playlist for each genre and the smart playlist only picks the songs that I have ranked 3 stars or higher. I use iTunes, and so what I do is I have a few smart playlists set up. Prefacing the album name I have the date that the album was released, so: And then underneath each band directory, invididual directories for each album. Underneath that, individual directories for each compilation. Also, I have one for soundtracks, compilations, and such prefaced with !!!! so that it appears at the very top. So, I have a few directories like this:Īnd so forth. So that they appear at the top of the list, I preface them with !!!. So I have a directory for each individual band/artist, but if I don't have enough of one band to rationalize having a whole directory I put them in generic directories. But, I really like how I've got everything catagorized in terms of directory structure. I can't really comment on the ID3 tags, because that has been an ongoing struggle for me that I'm resigned to losing. posted by wilful to Computers & Internet (9 answers total) 7 users marked this as a favorite I could do it manually but that would take dozens of hours. Is there a program that will run through all of the folders I tell it to, tell me which folders look the same and which have differences, and remove the repetitive bits of the task?

I can plug all of the sources into the one PC (on win 7). And in the future I will use that as my reference point (and then it will fail, and then I will cry).

I've just bought a nice clean large new portable hard drive, and I would like once and for all to make sure that there is a master list of music, with the best/most information available, in the one place.

Some of the artists have multiple names, because I like to format 'the' after the band names (so 'The Smiths' becomes 'Smiths, The', because most music programs are too stupid to file The Smiths under S) but if you grab the details from the internet, they sometimes overwrite the artist name. One drive has a whole bunch of extra stuff in there as well, which I selectively copied across to one other drive at one time. I've tried to curate different versions at different times, fixing up artist details, adding artwork, tagging favourites etc. I have three or four hard drives each with approximate copies of my digital music. Now my music collection has become unwieldy/chaotic and I'd like to get it under control. I've been slack and haven't followed any sort of digital filing rules.
