I am currently sitting on a measly 5k tracks. For a while now I've been the designated DJ amongst my friends due to my vast intrests in music I usually have a little something for everyone. I recently started a club which hosts events so whenever we need to make a playlist or mix for the event these songs i've been stockpiling come in handy.
I do most of my listening on my old phone as i primary use bluetooth devices & my car. I am currently undergoing (for me) a massive overhall of my library.
I've recently run into:
- FLAC, OPUS & WAV files
- A New Music Player which supports multiple artists & genres
- Synced Lyrics
- MP3TAG'S more advanced side
So I'm combing through upgrading tracks, fixing tags, formatting tags to work more effectively with this new player im using.
Ive also added quite a bit of custom tags to my files. My most recent addition is what I call the Explicit Score which gives me a numerical count of the choice words present in the lyrics.
This is extremely useful for me as I'm often around sensitive ears or playing music for a public audience so its nice to have this info handy so I know if what im playing is suitable.
One thing I am still struggling with is how I plan to store alternate versions (mostly clean/radio edits) of tracks. These arent always tracks I want on demand but when they are needed they're NEEDED.
Not long ago I was using Google Play Music & Samsung Music Player in tandem to play music. I had my local library & I could search most songs & alternate versions of them on the fly with Google Play.
Using two apps for music was a bit hectic but Google play was amazing for allowing your local files & files you were srreaming to be in the same queue. (Youtube Music, the bougie replacement does not allow this)
Similarly though I'd like to have those peakaboo tracks available at a search but not permanently present within the main library at all times if that makes sense.
Open to any ideas
