Hi, SongKong will correctly determine the correct album version where there are variations in the track listing, track order or different versions of tracks on the album. If the exact same version is released with different packaging or in different countries then SongKong cannot automatically determine the correct one form fingerprinting the songs but you can specified preferred album format (CD, Vinyl etc) and country to make it more likely that one is selected.

Good piece of software; well thought out. Gets the job at hand done. Relies on 2 or 3 different database sources that generally produce accurate results. More obscure works may have errors in song title or artist. Not the fault of the program; merely the databases that provide questionable info.

Hi, do you mean the track name or the filename ? The trackname should only contain track name since there are separate fields for trackno, album etc, trying to cram everything into trackname will likely cause problems. If you mean filename, you can rename as you want, there are some default masks listed on the Filenaming tab but you can also create your own.

I can well believe that this is better than other taggers, and very much better than others for classical music. It correctly tagged about 90% of my middling sized mainly classical collection. I bought a full version as an ‘extra’ on top of the lite version included as part of Melco Intelligent Music Library on a Melco n1z. I was not happy to have to pay extra for what was supposed to be the core of the updated Melco machine. I was even less happy that even two years after the release of these machines there are almost no instructions telling to what you are supposed to do. You have to jump around the Melco, MinimServer and SongKong websites, blogs and forums to see what is going on. This is totally unsatisfactory. I thought I was buying a library solution not a library puzzle.

Hi Duncan, its usual for hardware companies to offer cut down version of software as not all customers will want all the software provided. I take your point about jumping around, we try to answer all SongKong related questions on the forum and have a dedicated Melco section but since three different companies are involved it is not so easy to have a single point of reference.

If you have original albums then it will match to them, if you have compilation albums it will match to them.But I understand sometimes you have compilation or random songs and just want to treat as if had original albums and we are working on this, issue SONGKONG-2100

I purchased this to solve a problem with many unnamed files. This programme does work on *most* files but it is truly difficult to learn what specific order to apply the processes. There should at least be some guidance. I may, in time, get to know what to do and in which order but for now it is very hit and miss. Music fans are not *all* IT experts.

We found out the issue you were using Match to MusicBrainz Release (which is intended for matching all song s to one album) rather than Correct Metadata from MusicBrainz

That is one reason we dont modify filenames by default since this can invalidate some playlist formats. You are right we don't offer support for updating playlists, maybe that is something that could be added.

This was a reference to artist artwork and was due to SongKong being configured to use album artist and artist artwork.
