Yeah, same. Earlier this year I thought "Hey, people seem to love auto tagging with MB, Picard, Beets. I should try it."
But that was short lived. I don't want release information outside of artists, titles, albums, year. I just have no need for it. I know how to get what I want from mp3tag.
I am looking at using Beets to keep things clean, maybe find missing artwork, and fetch lyrics. But the vital information I'll keep reviewing.
I haven't ever gotten comfortable with how Picard works, but I'll check out QL. Thanks!
