But the file names were not as ordered and consistent like this, they were all over the place. Most of them did not even have proper meta data so I had lots of songs by "unknown artist".

Track 3 by Various Artists went hard 😤🤟
Is that a sequel to Track 2 by Blur?
Oh God I hate iTunes for the compilations. I will have about 3 hours worth of music called Track # by ~~various artists~~ YouTube
Meanwhile today we have songs with much saner metadata such as https://m.soundcloud.com/laughing-mantis/x5o-p-ap-4-pzx54-p-7cc-7-eicar
