Every batch audio transcoder I've tried didn't keep my meticulously curated directory structure. Just threw things around willy nilly often creating directories for artests the files didnt belong to. So I thought I'd build what I wanted.
So I have a new coding project that is forcing me to think differently. Never done any asynchronous python before. Never really needed to, still don't if I didn't want to transcode using ffmpeg as fast as possible. In the past I've used subprocess to roll my own ffmpeg wrapper. It was only a few videos at a time and not hundreds of audio files.
Only about 8 hours in, two classes 128 lines of code and most of that time was research. Think I'm nearly done. Done with the easy stuff any way. Have the que all set up but nothing's actually transcoding yet.
By the nine, i love learning, even when I'm stuck.
