I check with Discogs, see if they have metadata for it, if yes then tag it and use Mp3tag's sorting to move the tracks to my main library If not, get everything that Lidarr didn't already tag and sort, and pass it to Mp3tag. If Lidarr recognizes the tracks, tags them properly and moves them to my main library etc, problem solved Gather everything up from a certain artist, and throw it at Lidarr. My library also contains a lot of stuff that aren't at MB, or Discogs. I've recently realized that my music hoarding is getting out of control, since there's thousands of tracks being added every year, and I can't possibly find the time to listen to them all but I do want to keep them. I just figured you guys would know best here. But I know I want every last song because I try to keep complete discographies of my favorite artists and do plan on getting to everything someday.ĭoes anyone have any suggestions? I've been trying to do this for months and the collection is growing by the day! If not, thats' fine. It wouldn't be an exaggeration for me to say that I haven't even heard over 95% of the music I even have. I'm proud of the library I've built up so far but have no way to enjoy it because I have a ton of files basically sitting in a folder with no metadata and ridiculous file names (left untouched from the source). My collection consists of unreleased music which is not found on streaming services, including but not limited to alternate versions of existing songs and completely unheard songs.
My music will not be detected and appropriately tagged because there's nothing to match it to. The problem, is that the entirely of my music collection is not in the MusicBrainz database.
I have tens of thousands of songs in my collection and I've heard a lot of people use MusicBrainz for libraries of a such a size (or any size). I'm looking for suggestions on how I can organize my music in a somewhat automated way.
