[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 517463, member: 10858"] I see two different issues discussed. 1) People are too lazy to provide correct metadata (use correctly tagged music files). This wont change, as the best way to handle the metadata is to use the technology (ID3 tags) that is designed for the task. There is no point in reinventingthe wheel, no need to create hugely complex codebase to guess what people have used to name their music files (it is much easirt with the movies as you can have only movie name that you need to guess). Also if you have music files named in some sensible way (just as one example "track # - Artist name - Album name - Song title" ) you can handle the tagging [b]automatically[/b] with the tagging tools designed for the work. Also as there is always a error possibility with the file names (those are named by people after all) the task cannot be completely automatized. 2) Browsing music library is not intuitive enough for some people. This could be changed with external music plugin or having a different approach for the music plugin in MPII. For point #1 there is no need to discuss. It wont change, you just have to accept the fact that lazy people don't get all for free. For #2 please start submitting some design ideas how MPII could be doing it better (or some other 3rd party plugin for MP1). [/QUOTE]
