Hi all,

My wife is an ex-dancer and loves her music. Over the years her massive cd collection has been ripped down to individual tracks (a mixture of format types depending on what software she used) and in some cases, a whole cd has been ripped to a single track meaning you can't jump through it.

It's ******* me off no end and it needs sorting.

We're talking nearly 8,000 tracks and 41Gb in size. There's many duplicates as well as she'll have various CD's of an artist such as Pink, and there will be tracks that sit on different cd's.

So, can anyone recommend any software, even if it's different software for different areas that can:

Identify duplicates.

Create playlists from the album tracks so I can just had a single artist in a single folder regardless of the album it was on.

Bulk change of file types, which is best to use keeping in mind some have good and bad bitrates.

Can be used for ripping apart cd length tracks to individual tracks

most importantly, automatically identifying tracks, updating the name and file info so that it display's correctly in media players.
 
thanks all, I may have a look at writing something in python to help.

Are there music databases like IMDB etc that can be referenced and have easy access to albums/artists/track info etc?
