Organizing music metadata for a Mac mini server
A local music works better when file names and are cleaned up. Large of MP3 files or music copied from CDs may be missing artist names, album art, track numbers, and other basic details. Without that information, a music may not show albums, artists, or song order correctly.
The main work is choosing a folder structure, fixing tags, and recovering missing information with suitable tools. Beets is mentioned as one possible tool for this job.
