So I regretfully have not been the best at digital organization. Files, folders, bookmarks, playlists, etc. It's really a mess. It wasn't always, but you go through rough periods and just don't have the energy to keep doing it and get lazy and it gets out of control.

But short of going through everything, renaming and resorting them. Is there a shortcut to do this? A lot of it in miscellaneous named music files, files I've downloaded that come with random names, etc.

I think the last time I attempted this I was going through every old browser bookmark and it took me a week spending a couple hours a day just checking each one, seeing if the site was valid, and appropriately renaming and putting it into a folder. But I'm loathe to do that again if I can avoid it.

Edit: Additionally I've noticed some of my old TV shows have corrupted files, or parts of the video will be unplayable but I don't know if that was already like that when I got the file or if it happened afterwards. If I had a way to detect things like that it would be great too.
