In a physical archive, effort is made to retain as much original relation between the materials as possible. The order of books on a shelf, items placed inside other items, etc. If there is an envelope containing a bunch of press clippings, notes, photos etc, you don’t disassemble it to be filed by date and type, completely apart from each other. You keep them together, in order.
Comment on easy way to manage audio metadata / file organization?
splendoruranium@infosec.pub 3 weeks agoI stopped to retag and rename music files. Right now I prefer them to be as original as possible because preservation reasons.
Aren’t you then just preserving some random music ripper’s organizational preferences or default settings?
Either way I don’t see any issues with adding more tagged information. More information always more good 😁

Yes, random rippers preferences. The issue is that if you modify the file you lost traceability. And if you want to share the same files with a group of people you want the files to be static. The information can be out of the audio file, the sidecard I mentioned before. In photography it is used xmp format for sidecar. It seems that could be used this format for music too, I have to check it.
