If the speed problems are because the library is on a slower NAS and the files are accessed across the network, then probably the only solution would be to work on the files on your local PC. But moving files back and forth between the PC and NAS won't be any faster in the long run, so what you'd really need to do is keep a local copy of the library and then periodically sync those files to the NAS. This could also be seen as having the added advantage of one copy being a backup of the other. What I do when I rip a CD is rip the files to the PC that I'm using, update their tags, add ReplayGain, download artwork, and then move the files to my server. For later updating the tags of one or a handful of albums, doing it across the network using Mp3tag is slower, but acceptable. I seldom update the tags to hundreds of files at a time. > The other question I have is how to add album art in the best way.

Mp3tag has a few means of importing album art, but I couldn't say if it would be any better than the method you're using now. http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ -- JJZolx » » Download 'Squeezebox Server 7.5.6 r35834' (http://downloads.slimdevices.com/SqueezeboxServer_v7.5.6_unreleased/), the last nightly build of SBS 7.5. » ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91031
