MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win (with music library scraping)
First of all thanks for another great release!

Scanning seems to be faster which is a big plus.Rofl

The new icons are a bit skinny and don't match the rest of my interface (Linux). IIRC this is the forth version with a new interface. Hope you're satisfied with this one Wink

I spent the better part of yesterday working on my music collection and trying to scrape it. Not completely successful. Since the feature is somewhat beta I thought I'd better report my findings.Blush
  • As far as I could figure out, you need to select an artist then scrape the artist info. After that you select all albums under that artist and scrape them. Can this be done in one action (so scraping artist and album info all at once)?
  • When I select more than 5 artists, the program crashes. I am running the English version on Ubuntu 14.04. Media is stored on a NAS, meta data is stored in MariaDB (but meta data should not matter here)
  • When scraping multiple albums the upper progress bar does not stop moving. This is usually the case when trying to scrape more then three albums. Eventually I hit the button to stop scraping.
  • The results are not very good. This I think has nothing to do with ME but more with the databases that are being scraped. A large part of my collection consists of Black Metal, Speed Metal, Fusion metal and the likes. Would it be possible to add the Metal Archives or even better: WikiPedia? I searched some randomly chosen "obscure" bands I have and all were found on WP Cool
  • Would be great if the software could handle multi disc albums. I usually put them in separate folders using the album name followed by CD1 or CD2. Others might use a different scheme. Would it not be great if that was a configurable setting?

So kudos for this release and maybe my comments can help a little to make it even better Smile

Greetz,
