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.
Comment on easy way to manage audio metadata / file organization?
splendoruranium@infosec.pub 8 months 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 😁

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.
