After 7 years STILL NO EMBEDDED METADATA EDITOR???

Answered
Jim Golden
What gives? It’s the single most requested feature that is missing from the $1200 software I am forced to purchase with this flimsy external hard drive. The software rarely recognizes ID3 data, even on new and popular titles. If I have to spend a week editing the metadata then what is the benefit of Bluesound? Right now I my system is over $3000 of junk that I access thru Bluetooth and play iTunes over because bluesound won’t tell me what titles I have. WTF?

    Hi Jim

    Bluesound is a playback system - the only time metadata editing using BluOS comes into play is when ripping CDs using a VAULT, which happens via poling an Internet DB.

    If you are ripping CDs using different software than the VAULT, don't hesitate to contact that CD Ripping Software source. Here are some great tips for you, to adjust or edit legacy metadata from sources you ripped in the past; Please see; https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360042352294

    What is the update on this feature? Is anyone working on this or are you just ignoring your customers??

    Yeah, it's just one of those things you need to do, kinda like cleaning your LPs...But would you expect a free record cleaning kit when you bought a turntable? Maybe some would I guess...

    In my experience (over 10K songs so far), the existing metadata - from any source - is always far less than perfect. So you are always going to want to prune it. Doing this on any platform other than a PC would be painful. There's lots to do...

    MP3Tag and Kid3 are great, free tools for the PC. Just make it part of your workflow whenever you add new music to your library. With a bit of practise, you'll only do it once :-)
