I have what I think is a very simple question but although searching the forum and googling I have not been able to find an answer. Would be glad if someone could point me to the respective info / docu... thx in advance.
Here's the problem: I have an mp3 music library that has been cleanly maintained from the beginning - all relevant artist and album tags are set consistently throughout the whole library. Unfortunately the naming does not correspond to the naming of the scraper sites - e.g. I use "[LastName], [FirstName]" for solo artists while the scraper sites use "[FirstName] [LastName]" (e.g. "Adams, Bryan" vs. "Bryan Adams"). There are other minor differences like these which result in the scraper not finding the respective data entries.
I can now open the context menu and load the information manually (e.g. typing "Adams" shows a list and let's me select "Bryan Adams" from that list) - so far nothing special, the artist entry in my library gets the metadata. Perfect! The only problem is that the artist is now also being renamed to the naming of the scraper metasite thus overriding the name I originally set it to. As I am used to namings I have applied in my library I would like to keep them this way.
So here's the question: How can I link artists and albums from my music library to a metadata scraper site but keep my naming of the artists / albums?
- I have disabled the "Prefer online information" option in the settings
- I tried to create an .nfo file pointing to the correct entry as described here but they are simply ignored?!
BTW My installation is Isengard 15.2 on Windows 10. As scrapers I am using the standard universal scrapers.
