lThis has been reduced down to just the Unknown Artist tracks, which is further mostly made up (497 of 512) of the tracks that are also Unknown Album.

The other thousand are now, at least, properly attributed (and a few of them removed, as they were onesy-twosey things that K had downloaded back in the 90s). In some cases they also have correct dates and facets now. In others that was left to later.

Final disposition of the Unknown/Unknown tracks will require sitting there and listening to them, in many cases. I do know that a lot lof them are Final Fantasy 7/8 sountrack bits, but that doesn't help hugely. There are also almost 50 tracks whose filename is literally just track, then some numbers, and nothing else. Whee 😁
