Good points Abe.Just for perspective, I have the full album collection of Rolling Stone magazine top 500 albums of all time.
That is 500 albums right there, and being a backup fanatic - although sloppy at it I admit - I probably have at least 3 copies of that.
I also have nuermous "discographies" plus 50 to 100 CD rips of various collections - All Bernstein, Karajan, DG top 100, etc, etc, etc.
The list goes on. That is one example and only a small sample of the quantity of data I have.
25+ years of collecting rips...
IF my powershell code is correct, and it certainly seems so, and IF my math is correct converting the file attributes to TBs and deduping the files themselves, I end up wtih only 1.5 TB or so.
I found one 2 tb external drive that didn't have much on it, wiped it, and will soon write the code to use the file data in the database to try making a "master" one folder copy of my deduped music files onto that drive.
Then if that works out as expected, I will use a "dedicated" commercial music library app to make one more set of copies this time organized based on the music tags in each file.
Then i wll finally be done with this project that I always new for the past decade I would need to eventually do.
Due to the streaming services now I pretty much gave up on collecting rips, so going forward I hope never to have this problem surface again...
