Organizing MP3s and Other File Collections?

Posted by Cliff on from the virtual-file...filing dept.

Anonymous Coward asks: "After trying to merge several sets of media files that I've had laying around across several PC's (and looking at the short-comings of my own Perl script), I began looking at some commercial products and was overwhelmed. Does Slashdot have advice for organizing MP3 collections and what software works well for them?"

  1. Spare Linux PC with large drive? by kosmosik · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I use spare Linux PC (Celeron 800Mhz) it is also a server for home purposes/developement. It has two 200GB drives inside and exports that drives via Samba (Windows clients) and NFS (UNIX clients). I store all my multimedia stuff on this machine. Home workstations (two) play off it (via mounted.network drive), if I want to sync my laptop with it I just run rsync and I am done. :)

    Oh also the server itself plays those files - it is attached to my hifi in living room and has nice GUI (Freevo) for browsing/playing music).
