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 :

This is great!!! I have all my music tagged using picard and tag&remname...
am I to understand that you have created Nfo's as well? if so what program did you use for the NFO's and is it one per album or one for song??

What I do is import new music into Kodi, after putting relevant artwork into artist and album folders and tagging via MusicBrainz Picard, then I go into Music settings area/ Library and the export my music library using "separate" / export thumbs and fanart "Yes" / overwrite old files "NO" . Kodi will then create a artist.nfo file and a album.nfo for each album under the artist directory.

Once thats done I then check to see whats been missed in the Kodi scrap import. I then edit each nfo for artist and album to fill in the missing details

Thanks
