Lots of ditto's. Prior to metadata download I always clean up authors, series, and title, referring to a bibliographic site like ISFDB or Fantastic Fiction. I download metadata only for cover, identifiers, comments, published, and publisher. Even after extracting ISBN first, bulk metadata download requires more time fixing inevitable wrong metadata for some of the books than it would have taken to do a succession of individual metadata downloads without ISBN in the first place. The latter requires some cleaning up, referring to bibliographic site, but not as much.

I do that. One author at a time. Slow but sure. And long-term faster.
