Extremely good advice
. I just did my 400+ library (Manually):
Issues:
Wrong 1st (2nd,3rd) item in list. Sometimes the lookup Title needs the series name included, other times not
As the O/P mentioned: Tons of ?? tags
Problems with your existing data that prevents any match being found:
Fix and retry
Author name variations. (Normalize) : Robert Anson Heinlein vs Robert A. Heinlein .
Fix Title "Case"
Add Series names and numbers (not done by Meta Data lookup, at all) .
Choose-add Alternate cover images (that match your dead tree version?)
[I know I have missed some other reasons here.]
Nothing beats,good old, Eyeball Mk. I, with brain engaged.
