Hello- I use EAC to rip to FLAC, and choose the right freedb tag data when doing so... but it isn't always perfect, and sometimes odd characters get permuted to really strange stuff on the way to the filename, etc.
I'd like to clean up my tags... some I can do myself using MP3tag, but it would be nice to have an automated way to make a lot of it "better" (meaning, better than freedb's entries, which often get genre weird, miss the year, or have multiple, slightly different, names for the same artist) I tried "fix tags" from MusicIP, which catches a lot, but also messes a lot up (hint: back up before messing with tags :) It seems often oblivious to the fact that a set of tracks are all from the same album, and one needs to be careful not to relist tracks out of the album they're actually part of. Is there a better way? I read about dbPoweramp, which sounds nice (especially the most recent release)... is it the best/most recommended for this auto-tag-fixing task (on a large library)? Are there other suggestions? I vaguely remember hearing of other commercial (not free, but I'm OK paying a reasonable fee) solutions, but can't find them right off; rumor seemed to have it they had better data than the open source stuff. The MusicBrainz add-on for mp3tag seems like it might not be any better than "fix tags" in MusicIP; true, or is it improved by contextual associations (eg whether tracks are part of the same album)? Advice/suggestions appreciated! -- lork ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lork's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48890 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
