Hey all, I just happened upon a trove (~100gb) of MP3s from when I was a sweaty teenager with a DSL line and a 5-disc ripper. Anyone have recommendations on OSS toolsuites to begin indexing/sorting out the files? Everything apparently got flat dumped from a directory structure to a folder. There’s metadata in about 90% of the content - ~10k songs to sort through shouldn’t be too rough with hashing.
I’d be more than willing to seed once everything is in a happy place, there’s probably a few hundred studio cuts of songs that haven’t seen the light of day yet.
Music isn’t torrents in 2026. We’re all on Soulseek. You could certainly start there but make sure it’s tagged well.
Is VPN enough protection for Soulseek? I think Nicotine+ flatpak is available on my distro
The real question, will rawdogging it trigger a DCMA?
It’s safer than torrents, but tbh anytime you’re uploading anything, you should be using protection
