A<\/span> week ago, \"\"<\/a>I noticed that the Unofficial SXSW torrent site had started to distribute music for some of the major SXSW acts this year (site<\/a>). Once again there are two torrents involved here: part 1<\/a> is the big 6 gig one, with over 900 files). Part 2<\/a> has a limited set of around the 200 music files.\n<\/p>\n

Once again, I will be listening to (or attempt to) all the files in both sets: this year with slight interest tho, meaning with scarce commentary. Document 1<\/a> covers the first torrent file. Document 2<\/a> covers the last torrent file. To this date, I’ve listened to a total of 176 files or so. I’ve not yet heard amazing music yet: that is the wow factor is fairly low-key this year. We’ll report back in another couple of weeks.\n<\/p>\n

One other thing that I keep forgetting is the part of how I export specific MP3 tags. Yes, I don’t type all the song names, artist names and duration of songs manually. Since most of the (legal) torrents are downloaded on my Linux laptops (previously<\/a>), obviously I use Linux tools to take care of this. I use a tool called ‘exiftool’, which you may need to add to your package manager. For Ubuntu it would look something like: apt-get install exiftool<\/em>. To extract specific tags I run the following command in a terminal session:\n<\/p>\n

\n

exiftool -csv *.mp3 -sourcefile -title -artist -duration > tags.txt<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
Note that you can export other MP3 tags as well: I’ll leave that to yourself to find out.\n<\/p>\n
