Re: [Banshee-List] how to systematically correct bad metadata

[Philipp Weissenbacher <p weissenbacher gmail com>]

Hi,
I had a similar problem (+ lots of duplicates).
I found the following tools helpful:
* MusicBrainz Picard -- to get the meta-data correct [1]
* exfalso -- a meta-data (mass) editor with a lot of handy features
(e.g. file name generation form meta-data) [2]

[2] http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/

First fix up the meta-data with Picard and correct bad cases by hand
with exfalso.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how to do anything else with it.  What I need to do is more complicated: swap artist name with track name, for example, or set the artist name to be a substring of the track name, and then change the track name, etc.
