[11:46] <cmaloney> morning and all that
[11:46] <cmaloney> how are things?
[11:47] <Scary_Guy> good
[11:47] <Scary_Guy> sorting tunes
[11:51] <cmaloney> Fun times.
[13:19] <jrwren> autobiographically?
[13:52] <Scary_Guy> Yes, I get that reference; and no, but I can go into deatil if you like
[13:53] <Scary_Guy> all music gets sorted into genres, and then artist - year - track - ## - name.ext
[13:54] <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
[13:55] <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
[13:56] <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
[13:57] <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
[13:58] <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.
[13:59] <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
[14:00] <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.
[14:01] <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
[14:02] <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"
[14:03] <cmaloney> 16 volt, Bjork, and Neurosis
[14:03] <Scary_Guy> There's a whole rant about the "electronic" genre
[14:03] <Scary_Guy> 16v!
[14:05] <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)
[14:22] <Scary_Guy> bbl, sleep
