Hi,

I have a lot of ripped CDs that are compilations. In album I have "Greatest Hits of 80s" and similar. Is it there any way to get original album title from internet based only in artist and song title? how?

Thanks

> Hi - I am looking for ways to import music tag data not from Album (as it seems the default option is) but from Artist and Title (I have Album field empty, so it is not importing anything), so that Year, Genre, Album Artist, and Album are imported? Or perhaps it could somehow search from the file name, which is organized as Artist - Title...is that possible at all? I am kind of new with this stuff, please provide instructions if the answer to my question is yes. Thanks a lot for your help and in…
