Who's got a huge sample collection?
Hi there,
development is going swimmingly with some big features on the horizon, however, I need your help.
Anyone here who has several thousands of megabytes, ideally hundreds of gigabytes or terabytes, of audio samples for audio/music production on their hard disks can help. The more files, the better.
This involves a bit of trust: I need complete sample file lists in order to analyze common patterns in the structure and names which will help optimize one of the major features of Resonic Pro - database search. However, I would in any case handle your lists with the utmost discretion. The only interest I have is analyzing the file names contained in there, when done I'll throw the lists away.
Wanna help? I'd post a simple batch file that generates the list.
Cheers, Tom

Absolutely. I have just under 1TB of production and sound effects. I'd be happy to help!

I've attached a very simple and straight-forward list generation script. Please read the included readme.txt for instructions.
The files can get pretty big, even as .zip/.7z/.rar, so it's probably best to temporarily (!) upload it somewhere or send it directly to me via instant messaging.

I'm just interested in the sample collection, its structure and the naming. Just grab the script off the previous post and read the included readme.txt.

Re: Who's got a huge sample collection?
Just curious. How do you generally go about analysing large .txt files with thousands of lines.
Is there any smart program that can read these .txt files in a more meaningful / easy to navigate way?
Reason I ask is that your script does something that I had been looking for, for a while. I had downloaded some freeware to accomplish this task - create a text file database of my entire music collection, however it is not very easy to read / browse.
If only there was a way to open the .txt file and have a tree navigation view / structure to browse it all so it replicates the view I have when using windows explorer to navigate my music collection.
I'm sure this exists but I'm unsure how to phrase it well enough to find what i'm looking for.

Re: Who's got a huge sample collection?
I don't know of programs, but basically the process is very labour-intensive. It's a combination of several scripts that combine/sort/clean up/search the lists and a lot of manual analyzing. So basically i'm looking for certain patterns that are of relevance for Resonic and then try to build something that tries to make use of this information in a meaningful way. And the more different sample lists I combine the better.JamesEW wrote:Just curious. How do you generally go about analysing large .txt files with thousands of lines.

Re: Who's got a huge sample collection?
Ah I see,
Would be really useful if there was some freeware that can parse the lines of a text document back into a browsable collapsible tree folder like structure. Some say this can be done with winrar but I can't seem to find out how or i've misunderstood. Anyway not to go on a tangent....
Did you get my email with the list attached? If not, i'll send it over again / find some hosting and link it here.

Re: Who's got a huge sample collection?
Afair you can pack empty folder structures with WinRAR (somehow), but that's it. Why don't you use some kind of cataloging tool?JamesEW wrote:Would be really useful if there was some freeware that can parse the lines of a text document back into a browsable collapsible tree folder like structure.

Oh yep, I received it and the list's already merged into the big one. Sorry, didn't get round to answering the email!Did you get my email with the list attached? If not, i'll send it over again / find some hosting and link it here.
