Tag&Rename is also good. I use the latter. The important thing about fixing tags is to also make sure what you don't want there, isn't there. This means you need something that can understand rogue tags, extended or little supported tags, and more importantly APE tags. Slimserver isn't restricted to only standard tags (IE, compilation tag is important, yet non-standard) and when it comes to APE tags, it is assumed that if you have them, you want them used (they are much more flexible than id3). This means they will override ID3v1 and ID3v2.
It may also help to work with small groups of files, seeing what shows up in slimserver, to help detect what tags warrant closer inspection. Then, when you find something that isn't right, please offer up one issue at a time. thanks. -kdf _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
