Hey all, I just happened upon a trove (~100gb) of MP3s from when I was a sweaty teenager with a DSL line and a 5-disc ripper. Anyone have recommendations on OSS toolsuites to begin indexing/sorting out the files? Everything apparently got flat dumped from a directory structure to a folder. There’s metadata in about 90% of the content - ~10k songs to sort through shouldn’t be too rough with hashing.
I’d be more than willing to seed once everything is in a happy place, there’s probably a few hundred studio cuts of songs that haven’t seen the light of day yet.
You’re saying each mp3 is ~10MB? That’s probably 320Kbps quality, so should be at least better than topical 128Kbps.
My maths: 10,000,000B ÷ 240 seconds song = 41,666B(yte).
41,666B × 8(bit) = ~333,333b
333,333b ÷ 1,024 = 325bps (thinking kibibit vs kilobit depending on your IS)
(again, rough numbers)
I haven’t said anything 😘
I’ve for plenty of space to seed indefinitely. Waiting for that AA scrape to finally be available from Spotify lol
There were grand ambitions for a n-petabyte scale u. server in a milk crate, but then LLM happened 😭
I could make it happen eventually. I currently house a 4U 36 bay and 3U 24 bay in my 42U rack. Not fully populated, but currently 10x 8TB in raid 5 and 8x 16TB in raid 5. Only 1 spare 8TB 😅 a few older 3TB in raid 10 with plenty of spares.
Sitting on mostly spinny shucked wd reds from whenever they’ve gone on sale and a few 1u servers w u. shenannigans. Nothing insane, still under 100tb in raid 10.
The only upside to my spinning disks are they’re SAS enterprise grade. So long uptime and expected lifespan
