![]() Roon will display different covers when listed by album of artist.Īt the end of the day what works for you and your collection is best for you. ![]() If dealing with double album with two directories you would want a picture in each folder. So an album cover photo saved as folder.jpg file within the folder where the music tracks are. Again just make sure to highlight all tracks so they all have album cover imbedded. Makes getting rid of grey panels in Roon a breeze. The meta tagging is also live, so once you type billy you can select Billy Idol from list.Įmbedding pictures of album cover in files is handy too. Someone I knew ripped his entire collection to lossless wav with only album name on folder again perfectunes listened to tracks and 88% was fixed automatically in 2010. Means its always there with a right click. The fact the metatagging integrates into windows explorer. Was a huge time saver with album splitting problems I had initially. What I like about the meta data tagging that is part of Perfect Tunes is its ability to highlight artist, album name (anything reoccurring) and change it at same time, across all tracks in an album you have selected. Neither is very expensive SongKong is 30 UKP, MusiCHI, if you a Roon user you only need the Tagger Portion the rest is Ripper, Player and management modules which wont interest you. ![]() SongKong has a demo that doesn’t save changes so you can see what it does, MusiCHI has a 30 day free fully functional demo so try away is my best advice. I use both for cleaning up classical albums, they both have the good points Getting Composition/Movement or Work/Part straight is the key to getting things right in Roon classical stuff This is particularly useful to split off The Movement / Part from a file name. The second and best part is the Text Processing feature which is second to none, it finds and replaces, splits text against delimiters like : - etc. It can also be configure to populate Custom Tags eg if you want Composition transferred to Work it can do that ![]() It standardizes Composition Name, Composer Name & Album Artist. Each part of a Composition name can be included or re positioned If there is any issues it stops and asks for a selection rather than just adding something wrong. Its good part is in Composition management, it has MusiClean built in which looks up a composition its own db. Its a bit rigid in its format (as is its developer Phillipe) eg all composers will be Beethoven, Ludwig van (17xx-18yy) and you can’t change (configure) that and Roon doesn’t recognize that format (SongKong gives Ludwig van Beethoven which Roon likes) but you manually edit back to whatever format you want I have only used it for Classical although I undertstand it is equally good fro Jazz I generally work on a copy before dropping into the main library The only word of warning is that in classical stuff if you have discs “split” from Big Boxes it tends to not match to a release and then matches the individual tracks and can cause some issues. Just drag an album folder onto the UI and press start. I have used it a lot and it fills in a lot of metadata with little effort. If the album in question is a specific release it is very good. SongKong uses the MusicBrainz & Discogs db to lookup metadata.
