Thanks for this one King. Just downloaded and tested it on a few artists and it found every one. Just out of interest is it pulling the bios out of AMG?

King - where does it store this info?
Into the MC db or seperately?
This is why I wish MC would progress onto object orientated management.
I could have the BIOS per artist not per song. It'd be such a HUGE leap.
Would have objects for artists
with them having album entities
with those having track entities
Nice proper relationtional db instead of a flat one:)

If you have save Id3v2 Tags On It Saves To The MC9 Database And The Tag
If Not To The MC9 Database

It is working with both 9.0.180 and 9.1 ?
I have 9.0.180 and do not feel to use 9.1.
You are doing a fantastic job with all your plug-ins.
Thank you

King,
I'm trying it now.
Two points:
- It's finding almost ALL my artists BIOS - I'm very impressed :)
- It's not stealing the window focus so I can use it in the bg as I do other work - LOVELY :)
Where is it saving all the BIOS info?
If it's finding it for one song, is it automatically applying it to all the songs by that artist in my library/in the playing now window/what?
Is there any way to make it apply the BIOS to all the files by the artist??
Even better, is there some way MC can just store the BIOS once for each artist instead of repeating the info 300 times if I have 300 songs by that artist?

See Answer Above

All That Are In Playing Now.

Yes, Put Them In Playing Now
Sort Them by Artist, Then Use The Option To Reorder The Play List. This Will Make It Much Faster. Turn On The Second To Last Option On The Setup Page ("Read Bios From Files If Aval..........")
