I feel like this song didn’t make a memetic comeback until like 2010+ and moreso after the cringey Weezer/Toto stuff.
I spent way too much time back in the day updating metadata of music, renaming them, etc
Same here. I had my iTunes library meticulously organized. Finding mp3s, downloading them, importing them, then updating the metadata.
And now I just use Spotify lol
I still do all this shit. I’ll never switch to those DRM infested subscription services bullshit
I just use a cracked version of Spotify ;)
What I hate most about spotify is that you can’t block artists. It’s always pushing stuff I don’t like and I can’t do anything to stop it
You absolutely can block artists
Does it require a paid sub? Because I never found a way with a free account
No, you can do it under artist profile
Thanks Picard for being an absolute legend at automating all this stuff, i do it on my pc too despite being extremely lazy.
What’s Picard 👀
From MusicBrainz - it can identify the audio fingerprint of music and tag its Metadata appropriately. It never worked for me back in c. 2002 though because my pc was too slow to run the analysis - and I gave up.
My first smartphone had a faster clock speed than that beige XP tower.
Ugh… the time I’ve spent, in general, organizing and categorizing files of various types … Thanks
You Forgot the classic
metallica_nothing_else_matters.mp3.exe
It’s on there but mislabeled as one of the others.
The holy nugget
Good ol’ Kazaa
This, but with an iPod and YouTube to mp3 because I am a 2000s zoomer
usually I yt-dlp and ffmpeg YouTube videos to mp3s
FWIW, yt-dlp can do the ffmpeg part for you with the flags
-x --audio-format mp3Thanks
I freaking love FFMPEG
Napster for me, and I downloaded the entire Metallica anthology after Lars Ulrich said what he did.
03 track 3.mp3 03 track 3(1).mp3
I still use one of those MP3 players and MP3s of music and podcasts, best way to go for a walk and not have to worry if you’re mugged, all they get is a cheap MP3 player!
Hahaha I remember using LimeWire and Bearshare.
Man I’m old.
Haha, same. We had emule und kazaa 😄
And then you get that one song that’s had the volume boosted and burst your ear drums.
toto_africa.mp3.exeah the good old days, where instead of recommendation algorithms you had some guy deliberately adding more popular artists’ names to songs so you’d accidentally download them and broaden your horizons a bit
shoutouts to whoever mislabeled Chylinska as Rammstein in 2001 btw, you made me like 5% cooler
That’s how Soulja Boy boosted his numbers. He would upload his own songs and rename them to popular ones lol
Those don’t hold a candle to Track05-UnknownArtist
Limp Bizkit - Nookie (cookie monster version)
