>I had clear naming conventions for everything. For movies: <Engligh name> (YYYY) (EN|FR|JP|...) (<Quality>). For TV series: <English name>\Sxy_<EN|FR|JP|...>. Consistency was essential for me to be able to stay sane. It also made it much simpler to automate various operations.

This made me cringe. Why renaming a proper warez release ? Back in the day, the scene was very organised and got pretty strict schemes and rules regarding naming release, and today it still allows to know exactly what you got.

>And again, as you can imagine, harmonizing the names was tough. And there was more. Sound also needed to be normalized. Fortunately, there were tools to help with that.

The guy clearly didn't have access to proper releases ;)
