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