I never knew how bad a shape my music library was in till i came to load the jukebox. 10 hours and only 100gigs of music done. Time for a few beers I think.

Tagging is one of those things that just takes time, it's quite a nice feeling when you have it all sorted though. It's like an ongoing project for me really fixing stuff as i find it, i just discovered i had some duplicate albums I had to remove.

It looks better every time I generate the library its slowly coming together as you say there is a sense of accomplishment. Then time to back it up somewhere safe.

I am new to the jukebox also. I just have a drive full of artists folders with albums inside. What is the best way to set the files up. would it be something like
E:\KISS\UNMASKED\IS THAT YOU ? And then how do you name the songs? would it e something like KISS UNMASKED 1 IS THAT YOU.mp3? and the cover KISS UNMASKED cover.jpg?

As each album is in it's own folder i call the cover cover.jpg and have a smaller version called coversmall.jpg
