Maintaining a Digital Music Collection

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/htmlview

And rareafx made a nice comprehensive list of leaked songs with short descriptive blurbs:

very cool links there ty

> 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

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

just trying to sort out my new autechre purchases but they've changed the metadata from the previous copies - they are now part of a "AE_2022 - " album, only

00000270: 6d6d 656e 745b 355d 3a20 616c 6275 6d3d  mment[5]: album=
00000280: 4145 5f32 3032 32ef bc8d                 AE_2022....

that last " - " is actually a single character.

plus having it all in one directory like this means one cover for all of them unless the device is clever enough to use the 4000x4000 embedded image

(and i renamed everything to ae_live_(iso8601)_(city) last time so it sorted nicely)
