MC makes ripping this easy. I put a CD in my CD drive, get all the CD info from YADB, make a quick visual scan of the displayed data, correct tipoes, if I see any and start ripping.
And then (mainly with multiple artist albums) I end up with a couple of new artists in my database. Some artists are really new, but some are just not in the written format I want them.
Examples:
- I prefer
The Beatles and not
Beatles nor
The Beatels nor
Beatles, The nor
The Beetles, ...
- and I want
Freddy Fender and not
Freddie Fender nor
Fredy Fender nor
F. Fender, ...
many more examples available.
Now, I scan my artist database from time to time and clean the artist names manually. This is quite a (stupid?) work.
But I would like that:
MC shows me in some way if an artist is already in my artist database or not, before I start ripping a CD or importing audio files.
Preferably in:
-
CD view in Drives and Devices
-
Directory view in MyComputer for not imported audio files
The warning can be a different background color for the artist field if the artist is actually not in my database. Maybe this is a problem with skins. Other ways that point my eye to „new artists“ are also welcome.
Besides, OttoImport: Similar problem, but has to be discussed sparately.
Are there other users with an idea or solution for my problem. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
