correction: it was gone from the backup drive, not the main, new copy is going the other way

another weekend day of moving files here too, am up to r on the music. did find out that the 4tb music drive was actually only a 3tb drive (which means nas will have plenty of room for a laptop backup)

OK so an annoying thing about Bandcamp doing all the new downloads in 24/96 is that the WAV files don't fit if you are burning a CD with them.

Hmm... just checked my own label's page and am rather surprised to see downloads in 24/44.1 offered, as I only uploaded 16/44.1 WAVs!

You could get Goldwave and save the files as 16bit 44hz before burning a cd. Extra step, but it would work.

sorry yes I meant 24/44.1 xp

and yeah I can recode them using Amadeus, but it's a giant PITA< I don't need 24 bit versions of Australian garage punk

I discovered this recently trying to make a mix CD of recent stuff
I’ve never downloaded anything but MP3s from Bandcamp.

People are still burning CDs?

not just cds though. i've had problems with playing files on my (cheap) portable device because the files were 'better' than the usual files and i had to downsample them to get them to play.

this weekend's task: afx SoundCloud dump. i found a list where someone had numbered them chronologically and decided to copy that. 270+ files to rename and sanitise and retag (and actually listen to)
list contains about 20 things i don't have (and includes links to those) and doesn't include the latest stuff (uploaded to the new account).

doesn't yt-dlp work on soundcloud? it can do the tagging/renaming for you once set up properly, but only if the SC tags are already good enough
― chihuahuau, Sunday, 3 November 2024 12:19 (three days ago) link
they aren't! the upload is multiple tapes all of which are numbered 1-n so you have a lot of track number 1 with not enough disambiguation in the tags. so this was a faff but it gets easier as you go because there are less files to match against.
some of the files have a description tag in them with details i haven't seen before. the very first seems to claim that these are not afx related...

and he made the vast majority of the files downloadable from soundcloud originally. so they exist in various places as bulk downloads. the list i'm using is just a directory listing from archive.org

Koogs you probably saw these already but I found these resources useful when collating the SoundCloud dumps:spreadsheet of SoundCloud tracklist +assorted data:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11ouNaaVrNp60Ib34Kp0TO1n1XSc7-9DvfiZ9ZiTiD2c/htmlviewAnd rareafx made a nice comprehensive list of leaked songs with short descriptive blurbs:https://rareafx.wordpress.com/aphex-twin-old-dat-and-cassette-demos-soundcloud-janfeb-2015/

> description=like early aphex but I'd never heard of him when I wrote all these tracks im going to be uploading
^ fake news
this would be a lot easier if the files weren't called things like
263 I want to be with you[afx editional][a side][edward'get down' crosby mix] [88]-street side boyz [prod master c&j, writ c&j [for get down productions][ss-102]+3db.mp3
― koogs, Sunday, 3 November 2024 17:57 (three days ago) link
but i'm done, with the 279 files i have anyway. 13GB of flacs.
(yeah, flacs made from lossy mp3s, but hey, disk space is cheap. keeps my workflow easier if all the masters are flacs)

there's a pretty comprehensive 4rch1v3.0r6 collection iirc
