Improving album recognition in MM 5 (for USB key download)

Post by zitsky »

I'm willing to pay for lifetime gold but before I spend the $50 I'm trying to see how well MM actually works. I'm trying to re-rip an old CD collection that was imported in 192Kbps a LONG time ago. Mostly I'm trying to load on a USB key in my car in case I'm in an area with poor cell signal, which does happen. Plus my car has a nice media player.

I'm not surprised but I came across an older CD that isn't recognized in MM, but is recognized in iTunes for Windows. My car might still recognize it. It has it's own database for ripped music, but no CD player. I haven't tried yet. I just wonder if there is a way to improve the CD recognition in MM?

Hi,
Unfortunately no, as iTunes uses own proprietary database, you can try to Rip tracks, ill only Album name on Rip and use MM Auto-Tag to try to fetch metadata by using fingerprinting technique.

Re: RIP and Sync: Once you rip your CDs you can easily sync them to USB in order of CD eg. "\<Album>\<Track #>. <Artist> - <Title>" and you can easily play whatever you want. NOTE: that is just simplest example and if your CAR support playlist then you almost have no limits (but it is trial and fail work for each car, as some MM users confirmed that their 80k+ Land Rover car do not support externally created/synced playlists).
