How do you actually get MM to look up Lyrics? Or Art? Is it explained somewhere?
Thanks!

...and then what? Do I have to highlight every track I want metadata populated for?Lowlander wrote:Tools > Options > Metadata lookup, then enable the Lyrics field in the Art & Details window for auto-lookup. You can also manually lookup in the Properties dialog on their respective tabs.
Sorry, can you explain that bit a bit further? I cannot get it going. I have set the view mode to "Show art with details" and it is not populating the metadata when I am play a track.Lowlander wrote:Yes, or leave Art & Details on the Now Playing tab and it will do it automatically for playing tracks.

Thanks for that, that works great, just make sure the "now playing" tab is selected on the right, not the "Selected".nohitter151 wrote:Wrong place.jason_a69 wrote:Sorry, can you explain that bit a bit further?

View -> "Art & Details" (checked)
In "Art & Details" panel, right-click -> "Choose fields". Check box for "Lyrics" (and any other fields you want to see)
At Options > Metadata lookup, check all the boxes.
No problem, how did you get on? Mine is still running, I had to do some manual adjustments here and there, especially with some of the compilations I have.Darryl_Gittins wrote:Awesome tip, Jason! I was looking for a way to do just this! Running it now.
Did you cut and paste all the tracks of an album into the new playlist? It will just run through them sequentially and correct the tags if you did.Darryl_Gittins wrote:It's going slowly, Jason. One hiccup is that when MM plays a song and automatically tags it with art, it only tags the one song instead of all the songs on the album. It'd be great if we could change that so that all songs on the album are tagged at the same time.
Hint hint!
