Evening all,

Just wanted to see if anyone else is as OCD with metadata details for Music in Kodi with Madnox installed.

I've just finished tagging my whole library, which has taken 3 months off and on....

Small tip for anyone using Madnox and Showcase2 view. For correct Album tagging I made sure the following was completed for each album :

Tools used MusicBrainz Picard, TagRename, along with The AudioDB.com and Fanart.tv websites

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<album>
    <title></title>
    <musicBrainzAlbumID></musicBrainzAlbumID>
    <artist></artist>
    <genre></genre>
    <style></style>
    <mood></mood>
    <releasetype></releasetype>
    <compilation></compilation>
    <review></review>
    <type></type>
    <releasedate></releasedate>
    <label></label>
    <thumb</thumb>
    <path></path>
    <rating></rating>
    <year>2009</year>
    <albumArtistCredits>
        <artist></artist>
        <musicBrainzArtistID></musicBrainzArtistID>
        <joinphrase></joinphrase>
        <featuring></featuring>
    </albumArtistCredits>
    <track>
        <musicBrainzTrackID></musicBrainzTrackID>
        <title></title>
        <position></position>
        <duration></duration>
    </track>
</album>

And for all Artists the following :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<artist>
    <name></name>
    <musicBrainzArtistID></musicBrainzArtistID>
    <genre></genre>
    <style></style>
    <mood></mood>
    <yearsactive></yearsactive>
    <born></born>
    <formed></formed>
    <biography></biography>
    <died></died>
    <disbanded></disbanded>
    <thumb</thumb>
    <album>
        <title></title>
        <year></year>
    </album>
</artist>

Ending up with the view like below :

zorg2k ( sorry for shortening your nick) : that is a very helpful post indeed.like yourself I have tried to shape my Music library into place previously ( 1500 albums ) when a disk failure wiped off everything ! Had to rethink and just rip some of my only favorites and do proper tagging ( I have used media monkey as MBPicard does my head in .. most of the songs ( esp Singles) it ( at least for me ) was tagging from various collections rather then the respective albums which I wanted. maybe there is a setting which I am unaware to achieve this so please let me know. So instead of Universal Scraper TheAudioDB is preferred scraper ?
from within Kodi I have scanned my Music Folder again using cdartmanager ( which checks against MBPicard & sets ID I have that enabled).
One question is about the code that you have posted . Pardon my ignorance but would you please advise me where exactly that code goes in ? is that in any of the scraper? or advancedsettings.xml.
TIA
