ipod - Tagging and Art - Page 2

Did you use the original MB or their newer Picard? The two are very different, and i've found that it speeds up tagging and all that parp in my books 10 fold. Getting used to it is difficult, took me a while and a few test cases to set it up so i knew i could rely on it. Once i had it sorted it powered through 30Gb of music which was about as unruly as they get. Then i copied my mates stuff and showed him over the course of a night how you can tag music (and subsequently stole it), another 15Gb in mere hours. 1000's of tracks all perfectly named with release dates and disc no. added to ID3 with embedded art from amazon... And structured immaculate too i must add

Can't be any happier with it as a piece of software. Made a HUGE thread about it a while ago making sure everyone actually gave it a good try!

even though I quite enjoy doing it, I will try Picard just for you

As long as it doesn't overwrite anything it doesn't find (I have a fair few albums that amazon doesn't stock) I'm alright with it.

edit: but it won't work directly from my iPod, so I'll have to transfer my music back before I use it :/

Ahhhh, you didn't say direct iPod, sorry. I keep my music on my PC and iPod, better luck next time

well, it's about 100x better than anything I've used for the same purpose before. It's just going through my collection as we speak.

It doesn't seem to be doing artwork though - do I need a plugin?

Yeah i said make sure you have the disc and album art plugin installed!
