Ace! _SL/S

Not for me

Sounds like the HDD is dying, maybe check it’s S.M.A.R.T. status? Most drives have statistics for errors and such

nmap works great for this

traceroute might also be usable vith the -p switch I guess?

For duplicates dupeGuru’s Music Mode should suffice (don’t be overly aggressive when batch deleting files!)

Then tag and sort them with MusicBrainz Picard (again, take it slow. Picard is great and all but not every automated match is correct and I always check mine if they’re correct)

After doing that start taking notes while listening to your Music in case you detect something is wrong (missed duplicate, wrong/partial metadata, etc) which allows you to fix these errors later on

I’d also recommend you do backups along the way because dupeGurus and Picards changes can’t be undone and as a beginner you’re likely to do mistakes till your accustomed to the process

That’s what I did and will continue to do with my 1500 songs (for now)

I also prefer to sync my music from my PC to my phone via rsync (any sync application should suffice). But that’s just me, because imo offline playback is the way to go

I get little micro-stutters every few seconds

Sounds like your Video file might be to blame. Does it always happen at the same time stamps? Maybe try watching it locally, does it happen there aswell?
