Yate or Metadatics for library management? - Mohmm - 19-Feb-2015 Thanks to this thread I discovered Yate and Metadatics. Until now I did all metadata editing in iTunes, but their editing interface continues declining. Many things don't work as they should. Now I got trial copies of Yate and Metadatics but find both GUIs a bit complicated and not extremely well organized. Nevertheless I'll probably stay with one of them. Which of the two do you recommend in terms of stability and iTunes integration? Thanks.

Nevertheless I'll probably stay with one of them. for me Yate seems more stable and reliable. a bit cleaner interface also, but i agree it is not that sleek and it takes some time getting used to it.

I've found Yate to be stable although I agree that the UI is a bit busy. But if you think Yate's UI is complicated, take a look at Jaikoz! Another one I've played with, which works nicely in a no-frills kind of way, is Tag (7-day trial available, $5 to buy). That's probably about the simplest UI I've seen. As far as I know it doesn't have any particular integration with iTunes, though. RE: Tools for library management? - GRC - 19-Feb-2015 Well I just took a quick look at Yate, Metadatics and Tag. Unless you're obsessive, I'm not sure what they offer that I can't do very easily in MediaMonkey plus it's a local player as well. It's really easy to use, especially if you've been used to iTunes. Not sure about the status of Mac implementation but pretty good on Windoze. It does require iTunes to be installed (but not running) to communicate with iThings but that's not a problem IMHO. There's a free version you can try but I sprung for a lifetime Gold license since I'm in it for the long haul (until something better comes along ) RE: Tools for library management? - Stigmater - 11-Mar-2015 With what editor i can edit DSF and DFF files? , Yate is not capable. RE: Tools for library management? - Petter - 11-Mar-2015 I find organizing,tagging and album art very handy in Itunes Always download the album art into the music files after ripping a cd ,and tagging the albums on the fly,After that Itunes take care of the organizing RE: Tools for library management? - Jnan_devi - 11-Mar-2015 Hey Amgad - what format you use now-a-days given you are proud owner of Aurender ?

FLAC, ALAC, WAV (i mean mostly, i m sure you have other formats too)Hi Jnan 98% of my library is FLAC. Very few albums in ALAC and WAV. I actually experimented a bit and compared some tracks in different formats but could not discern any difference in terms of SQ RE: Tools for library management? - Jnan_devi - 11-Mar-2015 (11-Mar-2015, 12:08)amabrok Wrote:(11-Mar-2015, 11:43)Jnan_devi Wrote: Hey Amgad - what format you use now-a-days given you are proud owner of Aurender ?
