Hey folks!

I have a music library that has grown over time that I stream using navidrome. The issue is, some of the files have little to no metadata, I have duplicates of the same album, some artist names are misspelled, etc. An it is large enough that doing this completely manually would take a while.

I'm assuming (hoping) that I am not alone in this.

Does anyone have a recommendation of a tool (either standalone or part of a self-hostable media app) to basically assist in cleaning this up? It doesn't need to automate a lot of the process, but, for instance, querying metadata from an online source based on the file name / artist name, detecting misspelled artist names would already be interesting. Similar to Calibre's "retrieve metadata" for ebooks.

My current digital kitchen scales (Brabantia) go through batteries faster than I would like. I use rechargeable batteries, but still.

I was looking for long-lasting mechanical kitchen scales or at least one of those kinetic energy scales (turn the knob to power it) to use in the kitchen. Any model that can measure in the ~1g to 5kg range with a tare function is more than enough.

Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with these types of scales (knob or mechanical)? E.g., does the knob thing break easily?

My partner asked me for a recommendation for a EDC because I own and care for my kitchen knives. But I know nothing about pocket knives, so I'm hoping you all can recommend something lest they walk out with a 8 inch chef's knive peeking from their pocket.

I had a look here, but I just got lost in all those choices.

It doesn't need to be super durable as I should be able to sharpen it for them, but it should be easy to handle. The purported usage is self defense, but I think it will mostly be used to do chore related tasks.

Any solid choices there?

EDIT: after the replies pushing back on using this type of tool for self defense, I've had a talk with my partner and went through the arguments here. They didn't take much convincing that it was a bad idea. Thank you all for pointing it out!
