Hmmm, I didn't notice the plugin is able to update metadata itself, I'm using it to create lists (which are probably metadata as well, but not in the "author/title/series"-sense). My use case is that I've got a multi-language library with many titles in two or more languages, and I'm trying to match award lists (like for example winners and nominees for the "Nebula" award) to books in my list. After the list has been created I'm doing the tagging manually.

Ah, so it's not only me, thanks (; .

I've had a look at the code of a few plugins, but that stuff is still way over my head. I'd like to give it more tries, but that'll take some time.
