I listen to only about three heavy metal bands, and Opeth is my favorite. They
are so emotionally complex and still fun at the same time. Album produced by
Steven Wilson ... good move, mates.



The source here is a ripped CD to FLAC at 16/44.1 resolution. DR is 11 - nice.

We can agree to disagree since I'm actually doing instead of hypothesizing

And is it really superfluous.... or lack of understanding

I stated that I've tried media organizers (including Media Monkey, Music Bee, JRiver, Roon and others) in the past. Some for weeks. Didn't care for them. I've noted in brief why, but I hardly need to justify my judgments or choices, nor is this the place for an extended explication on such trivialities. Moreover, I stated that I found them to be unnecessarily complex and unneeded (for my purposes), not that they are so in and of themselves or for everyone. Thus, I meant no offense.

10k ... oh boy. Like mentioned above I keep on adding tags and stars on a daily basis, not at last in order to thin out that mess plus lately I went through some folders and just delete or zip up stuff I really don't care about anymore. No more needs to keep it all and no regrets so far. YMMV.

I have a problem. I think I've said before that I know people with 20k, 30k+ collections so I don't feel so bad. I do "purgatorize" (regulate to the "maybe try again later" folder; that is, a kind of purgatory category, hence the silly neologism ) albums that I don't care for or just find mediocre, at least prima facie.

It's easy to get overwhelmed with jazz and classical: WoW is there a lot of material! One artist/composer/performer leads to next. And then there's huge editions/box sets like this 13 Volume Sibelius collection that I still have not listened to in its entirety. The good thing is that with such an abundance of material, one won't run out of interesting music to listen to in one lifetime!

You sure seem to have more in your collection than you state; lots of interesting and "deep cut" material, some of which is new to me at least. Keep exploring and posting!

That's cool. And I take no offense. I was simply replying to what was posted. And agree, not everything is for everyone.

And for the record, mine is about CDs. For vinyl, I ain't going through all that

Peace

I sat in a bar outside of Fuchu AS, Japan and listened to most of these songs night after night fifty years ago.

If that collection includes the Osmo Vänskä recordings you are in for a treat

Especially the lesser known chorus like this one are worth a listen...
