Cleaning Up Music Collection Continued

Back in February I went through my music files using Beets, which was good for it’s automation. It could download the tags and the cover art and write all of that, and it also was good for renaming folders so that all of them had the same formatting. Recently, though, I’ve been going through and fine tuning things using a tag editor program called Kid3, and then using Strawberry, a multi-featured music player. I did this because the years are hit and miss with Beets, and another quirky thing is how has trouble with naming when it comes to a solo musican. It prefers Aimee Mann to Mann, Aimee. The years of my albums were all over the place, and often just wrong. I used Kid3 to enter the correct album year, and Strawberry has a really useful batch re-tagging feature. I just wanted to note some of this. All these files, flac and mp3 and aac, get out of control fast.
