Musicbee.
i rename it all with mp3 tag and use musicbee for the rest
>Track:
Work "Secondary Title", Opus #: Movement
>Artist:
Composer
>Album Artist:
Always from most important to least depending on the work. a piano concerto where the pianist is of the most renown would have his name first followed by the conductor
>Year:
the release of the issue
>Comments:
Details on the work or set such as a list of all the performers and year the work was recorded
>Genre:
Classical
>Grouping:
Piano Concerto; Symphony ect.
Other tagging lines that are in music be such as the Composer field and Conductor field are obvious.
album art is usually included in a scan but if not i can find the work on amazon or discogs
I start with the auto-tagging from MusicBee, from there I change the year to the release date and make sure the publisher is the original one. I use the genres listed on RateYourMusic and then fetch the highest quality album art from either Fanart.tv (which MusicBee will typically find on its own), or from albumartexchange.com
I used to get all my album covers from AlbumArtExhange but then they blocked all countries except USA. And what makes it worse is the fact that I've been a contributing member on it for more than 2 years...
They installed a system called Blockscript that also blocks all kinds of Proxies/VPNs and ONLY allows bare IPs.
