What is missing from my music libary?

Compare files to what is IN the dB?

I think what you want is a way to see what mess your tags produced...

Now, Now, there ......... it's just the classical stuff.

Then I ensure "show song and album artists" is enabled, and have a good look at the resulting nodes - artists, albums, genres and the relevant roles e.g composers, conductors, orchestras. Cock-ups, generally inconsistent spelling of artist names, are often obvious.

I'll give it a try. Not looking forward to it. The repair of my video dB cockup took 3-4 months. I could die still working on this one.

The former seems easier and more efficacious.

Keep you posted.
