I ripped my ~1000 cd collection before I moved and downsized and between using EAC to extract the music and just mass dragging and dropping the files to Picard to fingerprint and rename to my specs was fantastic.
- hsbauauvhabzb 5y agoMy issue with beets was the musicbrainz API was severely rate limiting and slow. I fixed this by running my own MB database using linuxservers docker container which has been discontinued. One thing I did was write a custom script which would identify any missing media from artists who I had other music from - this helped me discover music I wasn’t aware of and was reasonably good at finding new albums rather than me manually googling each artist. Alas with the death of the docker container, I can’t do this anymore. Has the rate limit constraint of MB changed in recent years?
- res0nat0r 5y agoI'm not sure if using the Picard app has some kind of magic API whitelisting for the client going on or not, but I'll drag entire folders with 50-100 disorganized albums to the app and tell it to fingerprint everything and I've never had an issue or gotten a rate limit / API error.
