Hi everyone, I'm currently working on considerably improving my computer based hifi installation. So far i've been using foobar 2000 and relying on cue files for tagging my music. Unfortunately the limitations of the remote controlling solution and the ones of the cue sheet formats for music tagging, made me consider a new player. As i rebuilt my pc from scratch and optimized every part for a high end experience, i imagine that they must be better options sq-wise, than foobar. During my researches i came across players like Roon, JPLAY, Audirvana and so on, but could find out which one would fit my needs better, which are: 1) Sound quality 2) Ability to tag my music automatically (as much as possible), as i have a very large library 3) Durability: i would like to use my system as long as possible, without having to worring to have to do the tagging again, in this frequently changing digital world 4) Possibility to control the music remotely (and retrieve it easily), as i'm not considering hooking up a screen to this computer, excempt for occasional maintenance I would be interested as well to hear what solutions you guys are using for those purposes. Your advises would be appreciated. Thanks Nico

iTunes Work/Movement fields: who's using them?
semente posted a topic in iTunes and Everything Apple
Hi, Is anyone using the (new) iTunes Work/Movement fields? I looks like an improvement but I don't want to start re-tagging some 5K+ tracks to find out that it isn't really that useful... I see that Doug has two scripts that help out a bit but still require a lot of manual intervention: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2016/08/a-couple-of-work-and-movement-scripts/ Cheers, Ricardo -
It is called Meta, and I can attest to it's ease of use. I have figured it out and fixed most of the genre tags in my entire music collection this evening. If there is one thing I do not like about it, it would be that the artwork search is an in-app purchase on top of the $19.99 for the program. I did not buy it, I just use The Google. However, it is extremely user friendly, customizable, has every tag I can imagine you needing, and it will let you make your own if you need a special one just for you. Edit: It does let you import and work with your own artwork though, such as those downloaded from other sources. https://www.nightbirdsevolve.com/meta/

i have engaged in a rip journey to transform the cd piles in wav files on a synology media server DSP214play now, the whole ripping and tagging process it is not exactly a breeze, it looks more more like a trial & error process or a steeplechase race... whilst consulting the fifth edition (2015) of robert harley's audio guide i read with amazement on p 220 'the downside of wav is that they have no provision for embedded metadata ... you could create a large music library as wav files on an nas drive ... only to discover that the metadata disappears when your drive is connected to another server... you can move your wav files to another server but the metadata will be unreadable by the new server...' is this true? am presently set on XLD (for ripping) and kid3 (for further tag editing) both on macbook also downloaded wav audio files from qobuz - including what appears to me as embedded metadata (??) is there somebody who can comment and expand on the statements of robert harley and explain what are in practical terms the limitations, constraints and risks of tagging wav files?
