Editor's Note: Updating the page that is dedicated to tracking progress of the CD to MP3 progress is the appropriate location for the information within this post. However, due to the layout decision to use a table to store tabular information and due to the screenshots below being necessary to explain the subject, it would be ugly. Thus, that page has been updated to include a reference to this post. To see the page that is dedicated to tracking progress of the CD to MP3, see CDs to MP3 Documentation.
I have not documented my progress with my music collection lately so here I go. I ran the command "dir *.mp3 *.wav *.wma *.3gp *.amr" in the directory o:\music_shell and had 119,535 files, which is a lot of music files. However, it is a false number because of some abnormalities in my files. I found the following examples to illustrate the type of work that still needs to be done in my music collection on my external hard drive.
 |
| Notice in the red rectangle that the first file uses "Steve Miller Band" while the second file uses "The Steve Miller Band" which results in double (44) the actual files on this specific album. |
 |
| Notice how the first file and the second file have the same file size, are both "Track 1" - one of those files needs to be renamed to include the actual track information and the other file needs to be deleted. |
 |
| Notice how even though these are the files in the "50_Spindle" folder, there are files that have "1051_Spindle" in the file name. Files that have "1051_Spindle" in the file name need to be verified to be the actual same tune as the file that has "1050_Spindle" in the file name and then the files that have "1051_Spindle" in the file name need to be deleted from this folder. |
 |
| The files that begin "Amen" in the Purple rectangles need to be compared to the files that begin with the track number and the duplicates then need to be deleted. |
All that said, I ran other commands:
- "dir /s" in the directory o:\music_shell and had 122569 files
- "dir /s /ah" in the directory o:\music_shell and had 4913 files. The number of hidden files are not included in the above total. A quick review of that list of hidden files indicate that these are the file types which exist in the o:\music_shell folder:
- JPG files
- DB files
- INI files
