    I find it a little bit weird to put meta data in the file name. Meta data is already there and you can see it on your computer with the tool exiftool (if you’re on a Linux system).

    But I think you’re not on a Linux system, because you would avoid white spaces then :D

      Welp, not if you used to rip from YouTube. And the files ripped from Deezer have wrong year most of the time anyway because they used it for file creation date.

      And when my music touches my computer it’s only because I am backing it up (as I should be doing). The only correct information is on CD rip of “The very best of Louis Armstrong” because I put that in myself using Kid3.

        Why should youtube media not have meta data? As soon media data was created, it automatically has meta data. If you create a music file, you get meta data like length, audio bitrate, sample rate, etc.

        But okay, you might mean data, which is not related to the file and can be added as meta data.
