None of them are necessarily wrong, but I see lots of music libraries on the my travels and inconsistencies can be substantial. Unfortunately, the various databases can quite often use different parameters to one another and the results can vary wildly. Whenever you rip a CD using one of these programs it looks to the Internet at one of several databases to gather information on the CD you are your ripping – it is this information which is the Metadata. There are lots of different computer based programs that can be used to rip your music, such as iTunes, dBPoweramp, Exact Audio Copy, Windows Media Player, XLD and many more. In this age of digital music libraries and streaming content accurate Metadata is more important than ever, but unfortunately it is very easy to have incorrect or inaccurate Metadata which can really make finding specific artists and/or albums very difficult when browsing your library on an iPad or phone.
Music Metadata (which sometimes get referred to as ID3 tags) is the information that is embedded into digital audio files which help you identify what the file actually is. Some of the info below is from an older post but I’ve updated it with some fresh information plus a before and after example of editing something that wasn’t quite right (or more not to my liking!).
SONGKONG ONLY FOR COVER ART HOW TO
I’ve written about SongKong before in previous blog posts, it’s an incredible useful program and is very powerful when you know how to fly it. “What is SongKong?” is a question I get asked on a reasonably frequent basis, more so than ever since the launch of the EX series of Melco machines and the release of 3.92 software for the mk1 and mk2 Melco’s as a version SongKong (Lite Edition) is included as standard.Įssentially, SongKong is an intelligent music metadata editor which can help you organise your music library just the way you want it, it can find missing artwork, correct inconsistencies and all you to fine tune how you music is displayed.
