Comment on How do you sort your music?

Yeah, at some point, I told Picard to just re-sort everything and that was not a good idea. Some songs got renamed or put under a different artist, because I guess, the actual song is not in the MusicBrainz database.
I do have a backup that I should restore actually, but yeah, difficult to notice such changes and especially to know how much damage was done.
I did also figure, I should just add the unknown songs into MusicBrainz, but boy, I added one album and that took more than half an hour…
Definitely leaning more and more towards that unsorted life…

How did you manage that? If picard can’t find a song, it won’t put it in the rightmost view and it won’t be processed.
I don’t let Picard move my files, only tag and rename them, because (last time I tried) I couldn’t easily see where it was going to move the files to verify if it’s correct. I run Lidarr pretty much exclusively to sort everything correctly lol.

I guess, it can select the wrong song, if:
I assume, it has to be a threshold, because you might have slight variations for the same song/recording, like silence at the end trimmed or volume normalized or whatever.
And yeah, Picard’s UI is certainly a bit of a hurdle. Conveying information for so many changes is definitely not easy, so I don’t want to complain.
But you know, if it would have detected that some of my songs will get renamed not just with a few capitalization fixes, but rather completely different words, and it would have prompted me for those, then I wouldn’t have misnamed songs now…
