Issues with auto tag from web

Post by selkov »

If I choose 1 song at a time and auto tag from web all works well.
But if I choose 15-20 songs to auto tag from web at once they either do not find any information or all the songs get over written with some of the information from just 1 track.

I have upgraded to the newest release and it has not helped.

Any suggestions/

Are all these tracks from the same album? If not, they should be. Auto-tag from web only looks up one album at a time.

MM do not automatically change anything in the library based on the return you get in the "Auto-Tag from Web" Dialogue.
If you press the "Auto-Tag" button, then it is you that have changed your files, not MM.
Therefore, do not press this button before you have confirmed that the return is correct for all files.

Sometimes I actually do some editing in the returned text in this dialogue, before I choose to accept the return.
Often they are full of errors.
