I use media monkey for ripping, tagging and organization, adding
artwork, etc. Rip to FLAC using MM, make sure the artist tag matches the
others for the same artist (e.g you don't have "Beatles" and "The
Beatles" with some associated with each). Once it looks good and is in
it's right place, it's ready for a LMS scan. Not sure its the best thing
to do, but it's what I adopted when I got my first duet and started the
process of ripping the 100's of CD's

Understand your second point. Right now I am looking into "Sync Toy"
with the thought of maintaining the "working library" on the PC, and
mirroring it to the pi HDD's. The process being: rip to PC library (or
download), clean up in MM -> run sync toy (update pi LMS library) ->
rescan LMS. I could then have the computer backup to the external HDD as
usual.

Unfortunately, Sync toy being new to me, it doesn't see the LMS HDD,
even though windows does:
26539

so, I have to work through this...

Thanks for your input!
Jim
