Comment on Folder/file name structure for eBooks

I highly reccomend using calibre.
bonus pints if you use a self hosted LLM to auto catalogue and apply metadata to the file before importing into calibre.
the recent openweight models are surprisingly good at reading files, pulling info, and doing simple monotonous tasks thousands of times without failing.

Hi there,
thanks for not staying true to your username. ;)
How does this work in practice? I’ve got a bunch of .pdf, .epub, .txt, even some .doc files lying around in a folder. What would an LLM do to them? Write a bunch of .xml files with the same file name of the corresponding book, or what?
I’ve not personally tested such stuff (as my setup is complete and I did the metadata all by hand before the age of LLMs), but to my understanding; the LLM is able to write opf/XML/whatever files you want for metadata, or even edit the file directly to add metadata. epubs and PDFs support author/title/etc tags iirc, so its not too hard to get the LLM to apply those after ingesting the text and searching online for matches.
