You can use the names you've already corrected. After that, you can go to check whether your artwork is loaded or not. So, if your folder names and track names are now what you want, it won't matter what is in CDDB: that's not where you would have to get your tags. Of course, the filenames have to have had that pattern to begin with (mine do). If I had selected *all* the files in that folder, they'd all get tagged with the same pattern, i.e., each file would get tags for artist, album, track number, composer, and track title. The dialog box should show what will happen when I click "OK". %artist%\%album%\%track% (%composer%) %title%Īs shown in this image. Then, because of the way I have named my file, I use the format string I open the album folder (NOT the artist folder!) in mp3tag, select a track, and click on the "filename to tag" icon in the toolbar. I have an album named "The Berlin Recital" by pianist Yuja Wang. The good news is that, if the folder and track names that you have on the B2 are to your liking, mp3tag can copy them directly into the corresponding tag entries. They are often (a) inaccurate, (b) inconsistent, (c) different from what you expect.

Of course, if you already have everything named as you would like, allowing any software to replace or supplement those names with ones from online databases will muck them up. It might not take as much time as you fear, and it certainly should not take as much typing - mostly pointing and clicking. The downside is that I'm going to spend a lot of time re-doing what I've already done over the years on the JB7 Markferguson wrote: The positive thing is that MP3Tag and similar exist.
Would MP3Tag or similar be useful?Ĭurrently listening to Spanish Stroll by Mink Deville This info must be coming from the B2 because I haven't backed up this CD yet. Sonos displays Track, Artist, Album and the album cover (artwork?). When I select and play a recently ripped CD the B2 displays the Track and Zone Kitchen. When I select and play an album on the B2 (an old cassette converted to CD and manually named for the JB7) the B2 displays Artist and Track in one block without punctuation and Zone Kitchen. Sonos generally shows the Artist as well. I have spent time comparing the info of playlists when I press the "Next" button on the remote and, without going into endless, boring detail, the B2 generally gives me only the Track title and Zone Kitchen on the smaller, second line. Yet the discrepancy between the B2 display and the Sonos is real. For shop-bought, pre-recorded CDs the info is already there before compression as well. My habit is to rip and then, if necessary, immediately punch in the information with the remote. Need to add them.JFBUK: Thanks for the explanation - I understand the two stages of ripping and then compressing.
I've got some CDs that aren't in the MusicBrainz database at all.
The amount of data MusicBrainz wants when you create a new release group and their style guide is daunting.

I still need to learn how to add a CD from scratch. And I add basic cover art images if there is no cover art. That way the next person who does a lookup for that CD will find the metadata. I can do simple stuff like adding a Disc ID if a lookup fails. I'm still learning the details of how to add or correct data on MusicBrainz. If you're going to contribute to MusicBrainz you pretty much have to learn how to use Picard. Since I've been getting my metadata from MusicBrainz and benefitting from the MusicBrainz metadata I figured I ought to contribute to MusicBrainz. Either through CUETools/CUERipper or dBpoweramp. I've been getting most of my tagging metadata from MusicBrainz. It's not the best or most intuitive tagging tool. MusicBrainz Picard is a weird tagging program.
