Hello,
today I tried to import my audio files into MC, which consist mostly of FLAC image files with accompanying CUE sheets. I had previously had rather good experiences with XBMC on the same files - everything was correctly catalogued, and even cover art was retrieved correctly in most cases- Where that didnt work, correcting it manually was easy. I should mention that I created the files with EAC with embedded images.
The performance of MC on these same files, however, was rather disppointing. Some files I find catalogued N times (same album, individual tracks?), others come with the wrong cover art, still others with none at all. Manually fixing these issues is at least non-obvious for me. Playing the first album (Pink Floyds "Dark Side of the Moon", represented with the cover art image of Pink Floyds "Animals", sigh), playback suddnly stalls after the 2nd piece, but continues a while later. This is completely broken IMO.
It seems to me this mess is too big to try to fix it manually. What is the recommended way of archiving music for MC that yields optimal results in terms of playback quality and library metadata availablility?
thanks,
christian
