Is Your Metadata Messy? Clean It Up With DataFix
The most important aspect of ripping your CD collection is also the most overlooked. Unfortunately, most people don't realize how important accurate and consistent metadata is until they begin to use their digitized collection. One of the biggest advantages of having a digitized collection is the ability to easily and quickly organize your music to your liking. This is only possible with good consistent metadata.
Why is Metadata a Problem?
Popular CD Ripping programs such as iTunes™ and MusicMatch™ use data that is from various sources including other users who type in the information about your CDs. This use of various sources leads to inconsistencies throughout their databases, which is used to "tag" your CD collection. If you are making an investment of time to rip your collection on your own, chances are most of your time will be spent inspecting, qualifying, and fixing the data returned by these applications.
The Solution: DataFix
Get Digital uses DataFix™, a unique process which inspects, qualifies, and fixes metadata for you. DataFix helps to minimize errors resulting in problems such as, a compilation CD ending up in the wrong folder, or an artist who was classified by their last name first.
The Results
Get Digital's proprietary method of qualifying the data associated with your CD collection means your resulting ID3 tags and file structure will be in a consistent format. Most of your collection will be returned with cover art associated with each CD. This cover art is stored in the ID3 tag so that if you use popular software applications, such as MusicMatch or iTunes, you'll be able to view this artwork in the application. This means that your newly digitized collection is returned to you ready to use.
