My music library is a mess

by manu

People are using Spotify for a reason. They don't need to tag their music. Their music. Well, actually it is someone's else music library. But who cares. I just want to listen to the very few favorite songs I like. Dang, another reason for a streaming service. To discover new music. But I'm not willing to pay a penny when there is everything on Youtube for free, including all the live concerts of your fav' band!

I want to have a properly tagged music library, but I'm just being lazy here. I'm not audiophile. I used to maintain my library with beets, but I got upset about the many questions it asks.

So how did I end up with? As of now, I'm just downloading the things I like and put them in a local music directory. The $BROWSER uses the cookies for my youtube account then and just downloads my likes.
