I have to say that this is IMHO the best application out there for tagging serious amounts of mp3s. I've done over 1,200 full albums with it now, and can't say that I've ever found anything better. For the record, I have no affiliation what so ever with the company who produces this software
In regards to having to do one album at a time, this isn't true. You can change the view to list the contents of all subfolders. Then, you can select which songs from which albums you wish to label as what.
Unfortunately, I still have not found a reliable source for category information for mp3 tags. I end up just choosing myself which category is appropriate. With Tag&Rename though, it's very quick to re-tag a few files, an album, or even dozens of albums.
It's sort of ironic, I'm actually in the process of doing just this, but for work. The data is not mission critical data, but it's important enough that we need some redundancy.
Here's the basic solution: 1. Slackware linux 2. Multiple pairs of harddrives set as mirrors (raid1) 3. Combine these mirrors into a single volume with lvm 4. Share the volume using samba & 5. For easy managment, use webmin
I'm using standard IDE drives because their cheap, and we've got a half dozen laying about. One nice thing about raid1 on linux is that you do NOT need the two harddrives to match in size. The size of the mirror will be the size of the smaller of the two drives. LVM allows me to take a lot of the smallish mirrors (60gb-160gb) and combine them into one large volume (total is 580gb). Because of the mirror'ing, there isn't much concern about a single dead drive taking out LVM.
I'm running this setup with a Pentium III-733mhz w/128mb memory, and have found the only bottle neck to be the speed of the drives themselves. A suggestion about that: Make sure that the two drives of each mirror reside on different ide channels; this improves things noticeably.
Slackware continues to ship with LILO as the default boot loader. The other option is loadlin. Grub is not even included. Slackware's motto is Keep It Simple [Stupid], and while Grub does have features that LILO lacks, it is more complicated, and so is not shipped with Slackware. peace
You may or may not be asperger's syndrome, but I very much doubt that you are autistic. In your post, you repeatedly take into account the emotions and reactions of the reader, and respond to them before hand. This level of cognitive empathy is almost by definition lacking in an individual with autism.
Autism is a spectrum disorder. The intensity of it's effects will vary greatly from one individual to another. At the highest level of functional there are folks with AS who, while unable to interpert social cues such as facial expressions, are still able to puzzle out other peoples reactions, and think of other people as human as well.
At the other end, the extremely autistic, there are individuals who completely lack empathy, let alone social skills. They completely fail to grasp the concept that another person is conscious such as they are. An automobile and a human being are both inanimate objects to them.
This does not mean that they won't be able to learn to interact with another person though. An autistic child may learn that if they scream very loud, and point to what they want, their mother will get it for them. To them, this affect is no different than pushing the ON button to turn on the television. They do not perceive their mother as another person with whom they are communicating. They are just learning to interact with their environment, as anyone else would do.
That is why I point out that it is very unlikely that you are autistic. The fact that you are writting a post in which you are considering what the reaction of the readers will be is a feat beyond autism. Aspergers quite possibly though.
You might try Shattered Galaxies. http://www.sgalaxy.com/. It's a rts tactical game, with some character/unit development involved. You take six mechanical units into a forray, with your teammates who each also have control of six units. You then play out a battle, with usually 10+ players on each side. I'd recommend giving it a try.
I'd happily take a gmail invite, if you have a few you don't need. frosgate@wwnet.net . Got enough spam heading to that account that it doesn't even matter anymore.
Thanks in advance,

I can't guarentee it, but I suspect an estimate of $0 USD wouldn't be far off.
Folks involved in the warez scene (those truelly involved) donate their time/resources to furthering a belief that they hold. I'm sure that belief has already been well debated in the forum, but I'll tell you that selling stuff on the streets (or where ever) is in direct conflict with that belief.
I'm almost willing to bet that he didn't make a single dollar being a 'software pirate', and never attempted to.
Why were you targeted for operation buccaner? Who/what was the weak link that allowed the feds to track you? Were any efforts made by DoD to minimize the amount of damage that would occur if a member was busted? Did you have any forewarning that this was comming, or did the feds just walk in one afternoon and walk off with your computer? What do you think the future of the scene is? (especially in regards to what happened to you?) Do you think that using IRC is a safe medium of communication for couriers/groups?
