I've googled and searched these threads with no luck on what I am trying to accomplish.
I have 3 folders of music, spread out between computers, that I would like to merge into one folder on my Ubuntu media server from which I can stream later.
My problem is that when I copy the music files over to the server, I am creating a lot of duplicates. What is the best method to copy these folders at about 30 GB each into one that is organized by a media player on the server? I am not partial to Banshee or Rhythmbox, but it seems I need some sort of software that will read the mp3 tags and put the music in folders by Artist/Album, only if that song does not already exist.
This seems like a rather straight-forward task, but I am having no luck with it. Any help is much appreciated!
