  • This is a copy of an older comment of mine:

    Everything is tagged and organized using Picard. I use a modified version of https://community.metabrainz.org/t/repository-for-neat-file-name-string-patterns-and-tagger-script-snippets/2786/156.

    I’ve been meaning to write a guide for how it works. My current WIP script can be found here: https://gitea.baerentsen.space/FrederikBaerentsen/DataHoarder_scripts/src/branch/master/Picard.txt

    My files is setup like:

    ~/Music/A/Artist/(YYYY) Title [Type - Format] [MusicBrainz ID]/[side] Title [length][Bandwidth].ext

    eg:

    /Music/Q/Queen/(1973) Queen [12 Inch Vinyl - FLAC] [1783da6a-9315-3602-a488-1738eb733a0f]
        /A1. Keep Yourself Alive [3m48s][320+ 48000KHz VBR 2ch].flac
        /B1. Liar [6m26s][320+ 48000KHz VBR 2ch].flac
    /Music/B/Bruce Springsteen/(2019) Western Stars [CD - FLAC] [a50ffce7-0532-41a7-b85b-7d02f8c7af00]
        /01. Hitch Hikin' [3m38s][320+ 96000KHz VBR 2ch].flac 
        /02. The Wayfarer [4m18s][320+ 96000KHz VBR 2ch].flac
    

    if the album isn’t a studio album, theres an extra folder. eg:

    /Music/B/Bruce Springsteen/Compilation/(1996) The Lost Masters I_ Alone in Colts Neck (The Complete Nebraska Session) [CD - FLAC] [8531e427-495a-443a-8fc3-0dd2ef459c93]
        /01. Nebraska [4m27s][320+ 44100KHz VBR 2ch].flac
    /Music/P/Phil Collins/Singles/(1981) In the Air Tonight [7 Inch Vinyl - FLAC] [e805dd53-9257-4c78-8bff-a95f0cdd767e]
        /A. In the Air Tonight [5m29s][320+ 96000KHz VBR 2ch].flac
    

    I have special categories for:

    Compilations
    Cover
    Tribute
    Singles
    Live
    EP
    

    If an album contains multiple disks, there’s an extra folder. Eg:

    /Music/M/Michael Jackson/Compilation/(2004) The Ultimate Collection [CD - FLAC] [2d37b204-ed26-3795-9710-1514f0fd931a]
        /Disc 1
            /01. I Want You Back [3m00s][320+ 44100KHz VBR 2ch].flac
    

    For soundtracks it’s: ~/Music/Soundtrack/T/(YYYY) Title [Type - Format] [MusicBrainz ID]/[side] Title [length][Bandwidth].ext

    eg.

    /Music/Soundtrack/L/(2001) The Lord of the Rings_ The Fellowship of the Ring - The Complete Recordings [Digital Media - FLAC] [cad73ae7-5966-4de1-bad4-4a603891fd27]
        /Disk 1/01. Prologue_ One Ring To Rule Them All [7m15s][320+ 48000KHz VBR 2ch].flac
    

    Been using this for 3+ years and it’s solid.

    I’ll try and make a better write up at some point and share my script.

    This setup also works flawlessly with Plex + Prism. I run Picard in a docker container and access it over web, so it can run on my headless Debian server.






  • Completely agree. I feel like the ps/xbox are just now (okay maybe up to 6mo ago) been in stock everywhere and it’s actually possible to pick one up at a store without any fuss. We aren’t huge console gamers and still use the first ps4 but have been looking at both the ps5 and Xbox to see if we should upgrade.

    I’ve been so happy with the switch, since I haven’t had to worry about a new gen for years and years and it made me use it more and buy more games for it.
