Need a little help with audio file tags - Piers - 2014-04-05 For years I've been pretty lazy with correct tagging of audio - "WMP does a good enough job and that's that". My mindset has changed on that and I really would like to sort my music collection out correctly. I've tried every single f*cking program I can find to help with applying the correct tags (including Mp3tag - many times), but the issue appears to be that most sources for scraping that information don't appear to be consistent. An example is this: That started with all the files - I then decided I would try and mass tag things and it's really gone down hill from there - some files were deleted by the application and that album tag is... well hmm. I was a little stupid and left all the CDs at my parents when I moved out years ago - now I buy music from iTunes and find the tags to be pretty good. It's the hundreds of old albums that are the problem. The only options I see are: 1) Repurchase hundreds of albums (way too expensive) 2) Fly to Austria with a massive suitcase and see if they even kept my CDs, fly back, buy an optical drive, install it and start ripping content again (obvious impracticality) 3) Quasi-illegally obtain music with possibly correct tags (obvious issues as well as finding the content - public rars, zips and torrents do not appeal) 4) Give up and live with perfectly set up and titled video files (18,000+) and a horrible looking audio collection. Given the above options, what would you go with? RE: Need a little help with audio file tags - Kib - 2014-04-05 I would use Musicbrainz Picard and spend quite some time tagging my files. Did you know that XBMC Gotham now has support for MusicBrainz tags in audio ? RE: Need a little help with audio file tags - Martijn - 2014-04-05 Same here with music brainz. RE: Need a little help with audio file tags - Piers - 2014-04-06 So this Musicbrainz thing works pretty well? Off to Google. |
