Well, thanks gentlemen. I am sharing my settings and process adopted with MB community here:
MusicBee preferences:
- On startup check for updated/missing files
- Scan monitored folders on startup only
- Add to inbox
- Auto-organization is pre-configured but not enabled
- mark and send duplicates to the inbox
Finalized Process:
- Add new files to a "watched" folder; this will add files to inbox
- Inbox: Fix the Artist & Album tags for the album/ compilation
- Inbox: For Albums - Auto-Tag by Album (Ctrl + Shift + L)
OR Inbox: For Compilations - Auto-Tag by Track -> Identify Tracks & update (Ctrl + L)
- Inbox (for both): Auto-Tag by Track -> Missing Artwork
- Inbox (for both): Auto-Tag by Track -> Missing Lyrics
[If lyrics not found, in Lyrics Tab - Search Google -> copy from browser -> Paste clipboard lyrics into Music File]
- Inbox (for both, optional): Convert as per choice [replace the source file, rest default)
- Inbox (for album/ compilation): Select the converted files; File -> Organize Files (Ctrl + R) (Personalize char mapping, if you must - I replaced space with underscore)
(Move and "add converted to Library" select this option in the popup)
- Library: Select Album/Compilation set: Analyse Volume (Ctrl + Shift + V).
- DONE!! Can keep updating metadata but avoid changing basic tags like artist, album - used for organizing files.
