Hello, I recently began ripping my CD collection (\>2,500) into a Bluesound Vault 2i. The Bluesound Vault 2i will take an entire CD and begin ripping it and it looks up the information and labels the songs for you - usually perfectly. But occasionally it does not recognize the CD/Album and saves the CD as "Unknown CD" with "Unknown Track 1" and "Unknown Track 2" and so on... Once I am able to determine the correct album/artist name, I use MP3TAG to update this information, but I cannot help but think how much easier it would be if I could tell MP3TAG which album it actually is, and choose the metadata for the correct album and paste it in all at once. Is this possible? I noticed with my Billy Joel 52nd Street 24k gold remaster CD that there were a variety of album covers and information to choose from and it seemed as though this was possible. I am new to tagging and any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Tom Steele The Hawk and Tom Show B93.7 Radio, Greenville SC 29615 ---

Hello Tom, welcome 👋 The usual way to approach this in Mp3tag is by using one of the Tag Sources, e.g., Discogs of MusicBrainz to lookup the album and import the data. You'd need a free account on [Discogs.com](http://Discogs.com) to use the Discogs tag source. And if you're looking for a very specific release, like in this case, you can also search via the Discogs website and use the Discogs Release ID (e.g., [[r3265307]](https://www.discogs.com/Billy-Joel-52nd-Street/release/3265307)) along with the "Discogs Release ID" tag source to import the data directly. ![tag-sources-discogs-billy-joel](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/7/72eb14b5eb87f24d31487e070226187acd8a7f03.png) ---

Ok, so I have lots of questions... I went to discogs and searched for the album but I get 100 results, and none of them appear to be that one. I don't see a 2010 release, with media any of that info... In addition to that, once I do find a file I want to import, I did not see how to get the IMPORT or ADJUST TAG INFORMATION screen. I apologize for being slow, but this is my first time at this particular rodeo. I am fairly computer savvy, but I am using a BlueSound Vault 2i to import these and I wish that I hadn't chosen wav files, as I believe FLAC is easier to manipulate the tags, but I have _no_ idea where these tags are being stored (individual files?). Also, the Vault stores a small .jpg in each folder that is clearly the album cover. I don't know how that fits in the scheme of things here. I realize that some of what I am asking may be related to the Vault and not your program, so I understand if you can't help there, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I really thought that I would be able to figure out more than I have so far, but I think that I haven't gotten a handle on the basics yet - like where this data is stored and how. Thank you so much! -Tom Steele ---

All right, I just made some big steps. My first problem, I was searching from within the MP3TAG program for the album, which was not returning the correct album. I finally realized that I needed to go to the [DISCOGS.COM](http://DISCOGS.COM) website to search where it showed the correct version. Once I did that, I was able to see my options to apply those tags to the album. I _THINK_ that I was able to update that information properly. NOW I have to find a way to determine what a bunch of the UNKNOWN albums that I have ripped actually are... This is going to take some time I think. LOL Thank you for your help! -Tom Steele ---
