Tools for library management?

[amabrok]

I use dbPowerAmp for ripping.

There's no better library system than JRiver, especially if you have a large collection of classical music that's meticulously tagged. But I'm not really interested in tagging beyond the most basic: composers, conductors, performers.

Yes, maybe, but no good if you can't transfer all your legacy ratings from iTunes. I even posted a query about this on the JRiver forum, the only suggestion was to make a folder of all 5 rated tunes, load the lot into JRiver, rate all 5, then repeat for 4, 3, 2, 1. And I thought computers should be able to do the graft!

Hi Confused

Thanks to @thumb5 earlier tip, I noticed that Yate can link to iTunes library and get additional data like rating. Could this be your answer? See how can you use. YATE to update the tagging of your library with iTunes rating before migrating it to another software.

I'm not sure how to do it but I would give it a try. You can download the trial version which is fully functioning for 14 days

Another vote for the excellent XLD for ripping and transcoding. I use Datamatics for editing tags.

Hi PhilP, are you on PC or Mac?
