I finished the process last week and a random survey reveals about 2 - 3% of tracks with truncated lyrics, which is a bit annoying. I have found which databases are the culprits so now just use the ones that work for new music. Am at work at the moment so cannot remember off-hand, but will post again later. Foobar remembers all your Lyrics Show and Preview settings, so even though you may have finished the original task, adding new lyrics data would be as simple as playing or previewing the tracks on the new album in Foobar. Assuming 10-15 tracks in most pop albums that makes adding new lyrics a 60 - 90 second process if you Preview each track for 6 seconds. I don't use the Foobar library function, but I would not be surprised if it had a "new music" list feature somewhere. All you would need to do then is create a playlist from the "new music" and run the preview function on it. Personally my workflow for a new CD is now as follows: Start dBPoweramp and use the simultaneous rip function to add the music files, tags and folder art to my FLAC and MP3 libraries on my PC. This takes about 5 minutes to tweak the tags and 2 minutes to perform the rip. Run foobar on each folder (MP3 and FLAC) to add the lyrics, that is 2 x 90 seconds at worst. Er... thats it. I have everything else set up to work automatically. I have software which, every 10 minutes, automatically synchronises the two music libraries on the PC on which I rip the music with mirrored folders on my NAS. LMS uses the FLAC folder on the NAS I use as an LMS server. That means that it takes a maximum of 15 minutes after I have ripped a CD for it to be available on LMS. I have about 8,000 tracks now, so not many fewer than you. I have set up LMS to do a complete rescan automatically at 3am every day while I am asleep, which takes it about 10 minutes. That way all newly ripped CDs are automatically added as "new music" each day without me having to set anything off manually. If I want to listen to the music straightaway after ripping it I just browse to it using the "Music Folder" option under "My Music" in LMS. That will automatically add the music to the database. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheLastMan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98161 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
