I'm ripping my CDs and WMP is taking forever. Musicbee is much faster, but it's not pulling any metadata from the disc, while also requiring me to pick what album I have from a list to download it from the internet.
Every CD I've seen has composer and contributing artist information, which the majority of online databases do not. I like this information, where conversely I couldn't really give a rats ass about what label it was under, what medium, or even what release country.
This makes the process a lot less automatic. In WMP I can pop in a disc, have it automatically rip, get the metadata, and eject. Repeat. Musicbee requires manual input and still skips out on the information I actually want. I can toss the files in MB Picard and get that data more easily and quicker than doing it this way since I can do that in large batches.
It forces itself to either automatically add the rips to the library, or to the inbox... whatever that is. I don't want either of those options since I'm ripping the CD's to my desktop to transfer over to a PLEX server when it's all finished.
Musicbee also only allows for adding a composer to the entire album, rather than single tracks. This doesn't really work when it comes to compilation albums or guest appearances.
Musicbee is a LOT quicker at ripping songs to the point where it probably would be best to then manually enter in the information I actually want, but it's certainly less than ideal. Is there any solution to these issues?
At this point I have WMP and Musicbee open on separate monitors and rip with Musicbee when the information is correct or there's only 1 composer.
