| cmaloney | morning and all that | 11:46 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | how are things? | 11:46 |
| Scary_Guy | good | 11:47 |
| Scary_Guy | sorting tunes | 11:47 |
| cmaloney | Fun times. | 11:51 |
| jrwren | autobiographically? | 13:19 |
| Scary_Guy | Yes, I get that reference; and no, but I can go into deatil if you like | 13:52 |
| Scary_Guy | all music gets sorted into genres, and then artist - year - track - ## - name.ext | 13:53 |
| Scary_Guy | I'm finding that to be a bit unmanagable though so I'm taking artists that I have a lot of and sorting them into their own folders | 13:54 |
| Scary_Guy | so /genre/artist/file.ext instead | 13:55 |
| jrwren | genre ! | 13:55 |
| jrwren | how do you decide? | 13:55 |
| jrwren | impossible I say. | 13:55 |
| jrwren | do you put madonna into techno or pop? or split her albums between both? | 13:55 |
| Scary_Guy | it's not easy but whatever it sounds to be the most like, that's where I stick it | 13:55 |
| Scary_Guy | some split, usually she's in pop | 13:56 |
| jrwren | I fell down a rabbit hole: https://alexpearce.me/2014/05/italics-in-iterm2-vim-tmux/ | 13:56 |
| Scary_Guy | she doesn't belong in the same universe as Kraftwerk, let alone the same directory | 13:56 |
| cscheib | definitely wouldn't sort by genre for my music | 13:57 |
| cscheib | but, I just use Spotify now, because it's awesome | 13:57 |
| cmaloney | About the only genre distinction I use is Jazz and Classical | 13:57 |
| Scary_Guy | I use this to DJ | 13:57 |
| cmaloney | and Soundtracks | 13:57 |
| Scary_Guy | so it helps to have like songs in the same spot | 13:57 |
| Scary_Guy | I have soundtrack and soundtrack games | 13:57 |
| cmaloney | (with a special place for Wendy Carlos, Tomita, Steve Roach, Redshift, and Christopher Franke) | 13:58 |
| jrwren | do you split house from techno? I guess house instead of techno would be more suitable. | 13:58 |
| Scary_Guy | house gets thrown in with pop, too similar | 13:59 |
| Scary_Guy | although I'm going to split off the LA hardstyle | 13:59 |
| jrwren | definitely a 1 man system. | 13:59 |
| Scary_Guy | trance/gabber/wubstep have their own directory too | 13:59 |
| jrwren | see... 1 man system. so hard to lump house with pop, but give each of those their own. I'm not knocking it. This is the greatness of diy. | 14:00 |
| Scary_Guy | it's not great, it's a horrible task that is NEVER ENDING | 14:01 |
| jrwren | indeed. | 14:01 |
| Scary_Guy | I've got like, 400,000 songs and most of those need sorting | 14:01 |
| cmaloney | I wish internet genres were more reliable | 14:01 |
| cmaloney | and mroe prevalent | 14:01 |
| cmaloney | Most of my digital collection is "No Genre" | 14:02 |
| Scary_Guy | fuck internet, it can't make up it's damn mind | 14:02 |
| cmaloney | And "Electronic" is the most useless genre | 14:02 |
| Scary_Guy | I remember the days of Napster. Every comedy song was either labeled as "Weird Al" or "Adam Sandler" | 14:02 |
| cmaloney | 16 volt, Bjork, and Neurosis | 14:03 |
| Scary_Guy | There's a whole rant about the "electronic" genre | 14:03 |
| Scary_Guy | 16v! | 14:03 |
| Scary_Guy | I also have a 9600 line text document of music I still need to find | 14:05 |
| Scary_Guy | and that's just the main document too, there are others | 14:05 |
| Scary_Guy | (lots of info overlaps but I'd rather have extra information than lose some) | 14:05 |
| Scary_Guy | bbl, sleep | 14:22 |
