1,200 CD's later, I am now through the ripping stage and starting on the library clean up process. I am vexed by the issue of standardising Album, Artist or Track names.
There are different nomenclatures used in YADB and there are also different type of printing on the CD covers for those not found. For example, an artist such as:-
Nathaniel Cole
Nat Cole
Nat King Cole
Nat "King" Cole
I will, probably somewhat arbitrarily, chose the one I prefer and change all the others to match. Whether this is wrong or right, I at least have more uniform and logical entry in the library.
At the end of this exercise, I would naturally select all the tracks and upload to YADB. Then a thought occurred to me. My preferences for this, or indeed any other type of editing, may not match those of other users.
So, some questions. Does YADB standardise across albums, artists or track names? If they don't, should they? If they don't, then if I upload a few thousand entries, am I making unnecessary work for the clean up team?
