Thanks for this guide. Very helpful.

I have a lot of music previously ripped to FLAC which I'm in the process of importing into Sooloos. On those albums for which the metadata isn't found, I've tried the "Import Data" approach and manual entry of the AMG ID. I've been 100% unsuccessful. I've been looking on Allmusic.com, found the correct album, looked through releases to find the correct version and searched for the AMG ID. Usually, there is nothing labelled as such. There's typically something like:

Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits
(CD - Warner Bros. #47130)

I've tried entering 47130, or #47130 or padding 47130 before or after with blanks or zeroes to make 10 digits. Nothing has been successful.

Suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong would be most welcome.

Can you use dBpa or XLD to "convert" FLAC to FLAC and look for better metadata?


Cheers, Ian
