Cool. Ya, tagging is one of those things that needs a good start and you standardize your workflow. Don't get discouraged... Start with letter A, B, etc. After 100 Albums it will be no sweat! lol
I use Smartlists to help me out when I import new tracks or clean things up. Since I am just listening to music
, I figured I could share a few. I have limited myself to about 50 genre which fits nicely in my 10" tablets.
Import the following code snips into new Smartlists. (Most are derived from the default JRiver and the Wiki references)
Audio -- Task -- Blank Album Artist
[Media Type]=[Audio] [Album Artist]=[] ~sort=[Artist],[Media Type],[Album Artist (auto)],[Album],[Disc #],[Track #],[Name]
Audio -- Task -- Empty properties
[Media Type]=[audio] ([Album]=[] or [Name]=[] or [Artist]=[] or [Genre]=[] or [Track #]=0)
Audio -- Task -- Field Mismatch (Album)
[Media Type]=[Audio] -[Album Artist (auto)]=[/(Multiple Artists/)] ~nodup=[Album],[Genre] ~dup=[Album],[Artist] ~sort=[Album] ~a ~sort=[File Type],[Album]
Audio -- Task -- Needs audio analysis
[Media Type]=[audio] [=isequal(AudioAnalysisState(), Needed, 1)]=1
Audio -- Task -- No image in inside file (assumes Folder.jpg is default)
[Media Type]=[Audio] [Image File]=[Folder.jpg] -[File Type]=[sacd],[dff]
Find and Replace is a great utility to manage the file system. Use with caution and read the Wiki before mass updates. Mileage varies on Classical album sets depending how you want your structure to be.
Something like this cleans up nicely with path and track format.
