Wow, great for books, what about music?

Mikey1969 · 11-13-2014, 01:23 PM

After 2 years of just downloading things and not worrying about getting the data correct, I finally sat down with Calibre, took a couple of days, and fixed my books. Fixed metadata details on some, fixed series numbering on others, took out series #s where needed, etc. It was great! I want to thank the devs of Calibre, as well as all of the plugin creators, even for ones I'll never use.

Once my funds are straightened out, I plan to donate towards Calibre and send cash to the creators of the two plugins I created. I also plan to post my own how-to guide, since I went through 2 or 3 times before I figured out the order to go in.

Now, does anyone have a suggestion for how to do this with my music collection? Same story, when you download this music, it's a total crapshoot on whether the data will be right, and so you have to really tweak things. I think I've settled on MediaMonkey for this, it seems to be pretty close to what I want, and widely expandable. If anyone knows a better solution, your advice would be greatly appreciated.

LOL, thanks for that link... Good news is that MediaMonkey is mentioned again and again, so I think I did well.
