i was trying to "perfectiony" my songs' tag long time ago
My gripe is the people who rip the CDs have horrible file naming convention. I can understand if an entire discography has file names of a specific format, but each directory is different.
Some time ago, I used Magic File Renamer to rename the files. I would strip the garbage from them, change lowercase, and make the file name simply Artist - Song Title
Recently I realized many discographies have live albums, and, when I play them on my computer, or want to sort them as they are on the CD, I can't because they no longer contain the track number.
Unfortunately not all ID3 tags have the track number, however, I've decided to change what I can to Artist - Track Number - Song Title. Some people make the file name so long that I've lost the file name when copying them over to a network drive or into a sub directory.
Sadly, all my MP3s are on network drives. Either the program I'm using, or the fact it's going through a switch through the "network", takes long to list all the files in a directory and then renaming them seems to cause the program to freeze. What I may do is remove the hard drive internal to the network drive, and connect it directly inside my PC.
Maybe I'll try another program in hopes it's faster and I can avoid swapping the drives.
