Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming Ripping CD Collection into Sooloos

I file imported (dBpoweramp) about 1300 CDs, my suggestion is to allocate time to clean up the metadata after import because mistakes will be made with identification, especially with EPs (the import will find a match for file amounts and track lengths and just accept the random or first match), and also with tracks that are just 1 long track (requires manual confirmation).

dBpoweramp will show a list of possible matches for EPs, Sooloos will just "power through". So most of my EPs had incorrect metadata. Luckily I avoided buying too many EPs, only for more very favorite bands.

Consider also it took my about 2 days of picking and choosing my actual albums (I have also a large live FLAC audio collection of non-copywritten 16 bit concerts intermingled which I have for the most part not imported so it was not trivial), and dBpoweramp also has a Batch Rip version, which has support for a variety of CD/DVD batch rippers, including drives which are bought and sold on eBay (at least in the US) for $500-$700 a piece.

Since I painstakingly already ripped, I have not gone down this route, but it is an option for someone with 1K disks to rip.
