I would love to seed (and cross-seed) my music library, but metadata tagging and renaming fucks the files up. How do I set up qBittorrent and Prowlarr to keep seeding after retagging?
You can rename the files using qBit. Just use its “rename files” feature. You can also rename folders this way.
As far as tagging in musicbrainz, I don’t think you will be able to do that because it will mean that you will have changed the contents of the files themselves. I could be wrong on that and someone else might be able to tell you how to do it though.
Yeah, that’s what I thought but I wanted to try. Hate not giving back when I get something. I’m trying to retroactively seed my entire music library if possible. Looks like I’d have to make my own torrents
Only way would be shenanigans with copy-on-write and deduplication; when it’s done seeding, copy it elsewhere on the same filesystem (which will use no space and be instant, because it’s just making a pointer to the original). Then make your modifications to the new version
