Music Media Manager

[SavellM]

Im looking for an external music media manager.
Basically, I want to get something to scan my 30+gb of music.
But I want something to scan the internet and download the correct album art, artist, genre and all that stuff.

I have found a few, but I cannot simply say scan all and then correct it, if there are any missing fields or popup with any discrepancies...

Its really long going through doing album by album...

Does anyone know of something good to scan my entire collection, and then let me chose if there are any issues.

It is not intuitive but it is second to none for what you want.

Dont be put off, persevere with it, trust me.

Once you have that done all your tags will be pretty much perfect art and all

Thanks XE,

Can you give me some basic advice on how to use it?
It looks complicated

In essence..

drag a folder of music into it

press cluster. this will try and group by album based on existing tags

you can either now

scan per track (music ip like shazam)
or just lookup per track

or either of these actions per clusetred album.

I would recommend starting small one or two less oddball albums.

Try lookup on one track in album. Try scan of one track in same album. Then lookupt on album.

Best to just fart about for a bit. Its not intuitive but 100% worth it
