@DJ Benny Maldonado 7K songs if I remember.. plus that image is just from me opening up the app. I didn’t even scan anything yet

MLT Years & Genres (Y&G) is specifically designed to populate the year and genre metadata for your tracks. It scans your library and fills in missing details, but since it's still in beta, some tracks might not get matched perfectly. MLT Organize, on the other hand, is a broader tool that restructures and organizes your music library into neatly arranged folders. It helps you start with a clean and well-structured collection, making it easier to manage your music files. Think of it this way: - MLT Y&G = Adds metadata (year & genre) to your tracks - MLT Organize = Cleans up and organizes your entire library into folders

@Thomas Ormond Sometimes it feels like I'm organizing more than practicing my mixes.. feels like a full time job editing and organizing files

@Thomas Ormond I feel sorry for yall that over 100GBs of music.. I just have 7K songs right now...i dont think i want to pass 12K-15K.. and keep it lean like CeeB recommended

@Shawn Storm yea I'm a fan of the combination because now we know we can us it for multiple genres

@Shawn Storm Possible Approaches for Multi-Genre Labeling: 1. Primary Genre + Subgenre (Organized Approach) - The main genre is the dominant one, and the subgenre gives more context. - Example format: Primary Genre (Subgenre)R&B (Hip-Hop) → R&B song with Hip-Hop influencesHip-Hop (Trap) → Hip-Hop song with a Trap vibeDancehall (Reggaeton) → Dancehall track with Reggaeton elementsPop (Afrobeats) → Pop song with Afrobeats influence - ✅ Pros: Keeps it structured, easier to search and filter, and prevents excessive multi-genre clutter. 2. Hybrid Genre Naming (Combination Approach) - Tags the top two or three genres together. - Example: Hip-Hop/R&B Afrobeats/Pop Reggaeton/Dancehall - ✅ Pros: Provides more details, useful for tracks that truly blend genres. - ❌ Cons: Can get messy if too many genres are combined. 3. Context-Based Genre Tagging (Collab vs. Solo) - The genre depends on the artist and collaboration style. - Example:Chris Brown – R&B (Solo tracks)Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne – Hip-Hop/R&B (Collab with a rapper)Drake – Hip-Hop (Rap-heavy track)Drake – R&B (Hip-Hop) (Melodic R&B track with rap elements) - ✅ Pros: Makes sense when an artist fluctuates between genres based on the track. 4. Weighted Genre Assignment (Detailed Approach) - Assigns percentages based on influence. - Example:Hip-Hop (60%) / R&B (40%)Dancehall (70%) / Reggae (30%) - ✅ Pros: Great for a highly detailed approach. - ❌ Cons: Might be overkill for casual organization. Best Option? Right now, Primary Genre + Subgenre seems to be the best balance of structure and flexibility. It’s clean, easy to filter, and avoids cluttered tags. If a subgenre doesn’t apply, the track simply stays under its main genre. I'm a fan of the Hybrid Approach but If you're working with software, the Hybrid Genre Naming (Combination Approach) is a very practical approach, while the Weighted Genre Assignment would be useful if a tool could automate it.
