I've realised that whenever I add new music to my library, my workflow has become quite involved. My library is stored on a Mac Mini. I have a laptop PC, and I find it more convenient to rip on this than on the Mac.
On PC: - On PC, rip CD to MP3 using LAME (192kbps VBR) - Permit iTunes to maintain directory structure - Edit any obvious CDDB errors in iTunes - Normalize volume to 89db using MP3gain - Transfer files to Mac Mini (iTunes directory) - Delete iTunes directory - ready for next rip session On Mac: - Delete all listed tunes in iTunes (keep files on drive). I'm trying to avoid duplicates here. Perhaps a redundant step? - Re-add iTunes folder to iTunes (incuding new files) - Rescan new and changed music in SlimServer I think that's it. Interested to hear of others' routines...
