I'm in the same situation as you are and six month have passed since I began the task. I began with 150 discs in my slimserver and since them, I'm improving the way I handle tags with this subset, not adding any new album. I wrote several posts on this subject to talk about my experience, tries and errors. This is not a ready to use howto, but you can find some traps to avoid, some useful information. To sum up: - Try with a small part of your collection (including many genre), from 50-200 and adjust your methods by using it and analizing the pros and cons of your choices - Begin to install custombrowse/customscan and tag your collection according to their behaviour - Use only personnal tags that won't move in the time and use scripts (definitive tool for me is MP3Tag, complex but very powerful). Until I synthesize this in the wiki, you can find some of my posts there: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37268 http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37268&page=2 http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38606 (among others) -- vrobin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vrobin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11705 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38688 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
