Intake is my 'dirty metadata' Library
Dirty means there is a ton of extra (cr*p) tags, series name variations (or those that need help so they do not clash with a similar one in the main Library.

In General, Intake is the place where you beat things into submission before merging them with the Main Library.

Basic Reason: When you 'delete' or 'Change' in a DB, those entries don't always go away...Just marked inactive. Over time, the DB grows bulky (Library Maintenance does a Vacuuming step to housekeep)
