Sometimes you lose hours on properly changing the tags so at least the albums play correctly again...

Roon, Roon, Roon, Roon. Leave it behind

At the weekend, I ripped, FLACced and fixed the metadata on all 26 or so episodes of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy. All of the public CD metadata sources were horrifically inconsistent. It was so annoying.

The struggle is real.

@Kattefjaes agh I have ripped a bunch of audiobooks that are near and dear to me. I can sympathize all too well.

@TRex if you aren't interested in Roon dbpoweramp has many of the same metadata sources. https://www.dbpoweramp.com/perfecttunes.htm

Both have free trials so give it a shot.

@Azteca Perfect tunes is Windows exclusive, unfortunately. And Room wouldn't do good enough; ID3 databases aren't very consistent. Even capitalization inconsistencies drive me mad! Thanks for the advice though.

@Kattefjaes yeah, we need an invention. Something called "Magic Tag" with patented "tagging with deep learning".

Oh, and note that in the original radio series of HHG, each episode has ~10 tracks, often with weird names.. Gnnnh. No one source of metadata was anything close to consistent in format through all episodes.

TRex, yes, we need an evil AI, or just a Mechanical Turk :)
