So, I’ve been working on my music collection and it is really coming along. I’ve downloaded a metric shit ton of music in the last month. My biggest problem remains, however. Metadata is crap. Even though now all of my files are meticulously named and organized, the so-called metadata search only works about 80% of the time. Why it is so hard, I’m not sure. These people have databases, right? All my folders have album.nfo files in them already, so the metadata shouldn’t even need to be looked up. It’s just an odd thing.

So, I’ll keep working on it, and bitching about it on the way. What I wish was that AI could help here. It could do something useful and just do this kind of stuff. This is the kind of thing nobody would care about, yet apparently we’re stuck with services searching through some tangled MySQL database and coming back with “results”. Not that AI would do any better, probably, so I guess that is a little pie in the sky.
