Sorting through thousands of mp3?

[RonaldS]

Hey guys,
So i have around 10,000 songs in various folders. I wanted to know whether there was an automatic way to scan similar named folders. For instance, I have a folder named Jason Mraz & another named Jason Marz..

I also have folders named JLo and JLo feat. _________, so my main question is whether or not there is an automatic way to sort through such folders such that I can get all the JLO songs in one folder, all the Metallica songs in another and the Jason Mraz & Jason Marz folders combined...

Was using dupeguru, but found it to be ineffective for this...

Yeah:
Ctrl+A
then
Shift+Delete
Finally
Enter.

Works great, just remember that after that you need to rename the new folder with a final name so you don't end up with 2 or more again

10000 isnt that many, do it manually for best results.

Based on your music selection, your computer might think you're gay. Maybe it just doesn't like gay people - get a Mac and you should be fine.

Depends on if they have metadata. If they do load them into iTunes and check "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" on. As they load iTunes should sort them all out and put them in appropriate folders, etc.

Beware though as iTunes is a greasy ram whore. Also if you've got no metadata on those MP3s you are fucked.
