Question:  What's the best way to occasionally check that the fidelity between the library and files on disk?  For example: Are they in the right folder?  Are the tags correct?

[MrC]

It depends on what you care about.

The Rename tool is good for checking file location in your media folders.  Select all the files, and select/enter your media rules.  The preview window will guide you. Alternatively, you can create a view that compares actual vs. desired file locations.

Tags on disc will generally be the same as tags in the library if you've left default MC auto-tagging settings.  Otherwise, you can compare a given tag value against the tag value in the file using the Tag() function, but this will be very slow.
