Tiny media manager for tv and movies
Oh oh, I have had this problem and I have favorites!
So for music, MusicBee, it has a great tagging system and music organization for free. I just run it in the same library and have a folder for unorganized files I add new stuff to.
For movies and TV shows, I know there is free options but I hate them. I dont know, I am a dumb dumb I guess but I can't get most to work for me. Filebot, so good, I will parade for filebot it is so good. I know it is paid but I paid for it twice. It can even keep the file linked so you can keep a torrent running and will do so much so simply. It kind of works for music but not really but movies and TV its like a wizard.
Books.... I do them by hand. Man thats still a thorn but its clean.
I came to believe that, although it has its use, folder structure is largely suboptimal for organizing files and media. Links and tags are way more efficient. That's why my all purposes storage is an Obsidian vault with only few base folders (see PARA or LYT systems). I can then search or explore the whole vault in many ways.
As for media, they are managed by Kodi. If the file names are explicit enough, the database is automatically generated with titles, dates, authors, actors... from web based data.
I've recently been playing with claude code via the terminal and it's literally saving me 100's of hours organizing all my ttrpg pdf's and other media. I'd suggest trying that with the johnny decimal system, that sounds like a great way to organize things with claude code (claude code requires a min $20/mo sub, but it's worth it IMO).
i used it to help me create my jd system, but that directory level where my media lives is item so there's not really a way to do another jd just for that. i think the best way is to use tags for media. how did it help you to organize your files at that level? i am totally poor, no way i can pay for claude
well, just to be clear, im not shilling for antrhopic here, most AI companies are evil little shits ruining the planet, but I have to admit it has its use cases that are legitimate, and coding is definitely one of them.
that said, once i have it installed in the terminal i just point it at the folder i want to organize, and tell it in layman's terms what i want it to do, like, "Organize the files and folders into a system that is human-readable and generally makes sense" or I'll tell it to organize into a specific folder structure, and it will scan all the file and folder names and write scripts (and execute them) to re-arrange them as needed.
it's accuracy is shockingly high, but it does miss some things, so always double check it's work.
if there's any doubt, i tell it to put duplicates and other things to get rid of in a "_trash" folder for me to look through before i commit to deleting them.
