[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 517292, member: 10858"] First of all, there aren't any good off file standard for storing music file metadata (and why would there be? ID3 tag is pretty good and universally supported). If you did get your music collection from legal way you would get the tags sorted out pretty quickly. If not then people are really lazy when they start to complain about them being in need for doing some manual labor to get their stolen goods to be recognized (sorry, no clue where your music files are originated from, do not take this personally, but usually the missing tags are caused by two different things 1) pirated scene releases 2) lazy user doing CD ripping and doesn't bother to use any automatic internet metadata lookup). [list] [*] Legally doanloaded music contains tags almost everytime (iTunes for example, even when they use a bit ugly version of ID3 tag) [*] Legally bought CDs ripped with proper CD extracing tool - metadata is queried based on the CD content and tags are inserted into file automatically during the process - only few, rare / not so mainstream band CDs aren't found in those online DBs [/list] .nfo files are used for movie clips as they don't have good metadata support (MKV has, but it is not widely used, or even known).
