Well, I’ve finally started ripping all my CDs again. I’ve done it multiple times in the past, but since the last time I did it I’ve accidentally deleted some of them. I also discovered that FreeDB isn’t even remotely accurate half the time (and if iTunes uses something besides FreeDB then whatever it’s looking at is equally as bad). Also, I wanted to actually scan the album art and embed it into all the files.
I’m starting with the new stuff that I hadn’t previously ripped and then I’ll begin going through all my old CDs again. After that I get to organize all the miscellaneous songs that I have as well. Needless to say it’s taking me forever but I’m at least making progress. Currently, if I’m moving quickly then I can finish off four or five CDs per hour. If I have to hunt down translations of song titles or something for foreign stuff or what not then that pace drops off significantly. With as many CDs as I have I figure I should be finished sometime around 2036.
Anyway, I’ll keep exporting a new list of what I’ve completed to date and make it available on here if anyone is curious to see what type of music I’m into. The link to the Excel file is below.
Update: I no longer keep this file up to date so it has been removed.
