Rcanoe Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I have a library of about 4000 songs accumulated over ten years. Some were ripped using 2007 iTunes, dbpoweramp, and vinyl studio. I remember typing in all the tag data in iTunes for about 100 cds!! ie a million typos. dbpoweramp rips at the time didn't have the benefit of musicbrainz either early on.....more manual entires. I have such a mish mash of tags and incorrect filenames that I didn't really dare to move outside a simple file directory structure in my music server. I only recently found a tag editor. I saw mp3tag editor but was turned off by "mp3" unknowingly. So I purchased meta from apple store which seems very similar. I couldn't believe how many errors I had to correct in file names before I could start moving to fixing genre tags. Example: Simon and Garfunkel vrs Simon & Garfunkel. Beatles vrs The Beatles. After that you can tailor genres to your liking. To me ACDC is "loud rock" and so I edited a new genre! Now I'm hijacking the "album artist" tag to make my own groupings. Anything you want. I use it to create a genre subset. An example is ROCK-HR, ROCK-CD and ROCK-P. This allows me to drill down to resolution formats for each genre. And its so easy and fast! Best thing since sliced bread!
