Auto Tag Behaviour

Post by RickMM »

I recently used Auto Tag to try to tag a recently released new 6 set CD into MMW5. (Based upon other forum related topics) I ripped & tried to tag one CD at a time. (Full disclosure -At the ripping stage I did get the message that the CD was not in the database). It would initially bring up the correct CD album artwork for a brief moment with the full listing of tracks but then I got a spinning wheel and it started to bring up a whole lot of other albums/CDs and as new CDs artwork popped up tracks would start to drop off the initial listing and become attached to the other albums/CDs. I was confused as to what it was trying to do. What is it trying to do? How do I use this feature properly?

Which Build (Help > About)?

Did you use Auto-Tag on the CD or the ripped files?

Are you able to locate the Album on MusicBrainz itself? As Rip and Auto-Tag both use MusicBrainz it's quite possible that the Album itself is not available. That would mean it requires manual tagging.
