Title: Album/Song info
Post by: maid on November 02, 2017, 07:49:32 pm

I have imported some songs and album already named with the wrong information.
How do I get the album info plus covers?

By entering the correct artist/album information.

you have 3 options:

1. stop pirating music
2. use google
3. try acoustID  https://acoustid.org/

1. your assumption of pirated music is unfounded
2. I just thought there might be a way in jriver to get the information quickly without having to type it all in, but again I asked for help

I've found that I usually have to enter the information manually, and scan the covers/labels in order to get everything correct. I've found that online sources get too much wrong to depend on them.

The best source I've found for artwork is http://www.albumartexchange.com/ (http://www.albumartexchange.com/). I can sometimes v=avoid scanning by checking there first.

Discogs
or
Music Brainz Picard

look to be the best source of info . BUT it will need a manual intervention I suspect
