Autechre how do you organize your mp3/flac/whatever collection?

I'm using CopyTrans

 

Actually, this shit blows. Anyone know of any decent free software (or methods) to recover all my iPod music?

Here's how I do it on Windows.

 

Messy downloads folder -> drag everything into a new playlist in Foobar, then figure what I want to keep

Tag and download art with the foo_discogs foobar component. You have to tell the plugin to download art in its settings.

The I created some file operation presets in Foobar. They read the now correct tags then rename/move the file accordingly. When you install Foobar you have to select to install 'file operations,' don't know why it isn't checked by default, pretty stupid.

 

Rename: $if(%tracknumber%,%tracknumber%). %title%

Will end up like: 01. Track name.file ext

 

Move: $left($stripprefix(%artist%),1)\%album artist%\%album%\%filename%

Will organise my stuff like: \a\artist\album - You just have to set a music folder the first time you create the preset, after that you can just go select, right click, file op, "move" preset

 

Can't imagine a better way for me as it's right in the media player, no faffing around with anything else.

 

this. now that i've gotten used to foobar, i can't imagine myself using anything else. only the most poorly tagged and organized files have problems fitting into automation schemes. it's the perfect program.

and it can manage your iPod if you download a free component.
