I have a folder of MP3s, some of which date back to 1999, just a few years after the format was popularised. Most of them have utterly terrible names (think RIDEONAM.MP3). I think at this point they might even survive the heat death of the universe.
Does anyone know why Jellyfin cant auto scan for mp3 signatures of random directories i have it targeting and auto-populate song/album/artist metadata into the existing library? Do I need a specific addon?
What high seas have good sources for music these days? I feel like a lot of music is harder to come by on the trackers I’ve searched. Occasionally I can find a particular album but is the more niche stuff invite trackers only?
Soulseek is the most popular now. It’s peer-to-peer on a different level than torrents, you download from a single other user, which is a little more finicky than connecting to a swarm. But there’s a lot of music available there.
Why not just use yt-dlp?
That has been my method, I wondered if there was something better. But if I stumbled into the answer, that works too!
Yep. Got archives with some files dating back to around 1999/2000, a fair part of the stuff impossible to find anywhere nowdays. Same for movies.
Gnome Easytag worked perfectly circa 2005.
I’ve always used Foobar2k with Picard plug-in, but admittedly have added little to my robust catalog since what.cd shut down a decade or so ago. I do buy from cherished artists but rarely share alike anymore, unsure where to look really.

To this day nearly a third of my Jellyfin library is stuff I downloaded through ourTunes over the dorm LAN in 2004/2005.
