Media Monkey

I love Media Monkey. It's a great way to organize files. Anyways, the auto-organize is the best feature, but of course we all have our own tweaks.


H:\MEDIA\MUSIC\$if(<Album>,$if(<Type><>mp3,$if(<Genre>=Christmas,iTunes Xmas Music\,iTunes\),$if(<Genre>=Christmas,Xmas Music\,Albums\))$if(<Label>,#<Label>,<Album Artist>)\<Album>\$if(<Disc#>,$if($len(<Disc#>)<2,<Disc#:2>,<Disc#>) - ,)$if(<Track#>,$if(<Special>=Over100,<Track#:3>,<Track#:2>) - ,),No Album\)<Artist>$if(<Feat.>, feat. <Feat.>) - <Title>

That, my friends, is my sorting script. It's made to filter out Christmas music, iTunes files and any special sorting tags. I also have rules for leading zeroes on albums over 100 tracks (Well, 100 OR over, but I'll tweak that later). I also strip out 'featuring' in the title or artist, because it pollutes the artist list with unneeded duplicates, so I put those into their own tab, but I want those to show up in the filenames, so I have to output those if they are there. There's a few things I wish it could do, but it's not smart enough yet to do it right from that line. I'd need to actually write a REAL script.

This works well enough for now.

Black Friday 2008

At one Fry's last year, the police had to come. The manager came out around 5AM or so, about an hour before opening, and told everyone to condense the line as it wrapped around the store more than once. So rather than do it calmly, it caused this huge surge of people leaving a ton of shit behind, people in tents getting fucked over and a whole bunch of jazz. Understandably, the line DID compress greatly, as people were now excited, however, it was about 5-6 people deep. A giant mess, really and somehow I ended up near the front because of how deep it was. Then, to counter-act this, I SHIT YOU NOT, the manager got on the megaphone and said "If your hand isn't touching the wall, you're out of line." At that point I went pale. I was against the wall, next to a small mother and her child. I had to brace myself because a shitload of people were pushing against us and would surely crush them. A few metal shopping carts got torn apart, one car got wrecked, the railing...

Been using twitter a lot lately. http://twitter.com/m3wthr33 Also, Google Reader. Once you get the RSS link for your favorite news sites, you don't need anything else. It tracks articles you read, has keyboard shortcuts and you can even share with friends. It's pretty nuts. And playing a shitton of music games. Got platinum in Rock Band 2 and it feels so good. Now working on Guitar Hero Metallica . I don't think I'll get platinum, but I'll do my best to play every song on every instrument and get as far as I can. There's a handful of trophies that VERY VERY few people have got. Also getting back into Fallout 3 now that Broken Steel came out, and rasied the level cap. Playing Operation: Anchorage and enjoying the change in scenery and gameplay so far. Although it's painfully obvious the engine isn't made for heavy action. I'll post more now, but seriously, Twitter and Google Reader are where it's at for me now. Still thinking of redesigning this ...
