Whew! I think I’m finally done fixing all of my MP3 tags and making sure every song has a date (hopefully a correct one) and album art. Been working on it for quite a while. But now I’m done. Now I just need to make playlists for all of my music. Using QCD and MediaMonkey, that shouldn’t be too tough.
The one thing that my MP3 collection is lacking is my vinyl collection. Some I’ve found CDs for, so those have been MP3’d. However, some of my albums don’t exist as CDs, so I’m going to need to hook my stereo up and go that route. Scanning in the album covers will be the hardest thing, since albums are bigger than my scanner area. Hopefully I’ll find someone online who’s already successfully done it. 🙂
Anyhoo, that’s all for another day. For now, I’m pleased that I’ve done as much as I’ve gotten so far.
I’ve made MP3s of a lot more records than I’ve scanned covers for, but I did scan a bunch of Dave Clark 5 album covers for the DC5 web page I used to have. (Thumbnail versions of them are still up at another DC5 page – I scanned most of the US albums there.) I’d scan the cover in two parts, and then paste the two parts together. Worked pretty well as long as I had the parts lined up right! (From what I can see on that site, I didn’t do a very good job of lining up the two halves of the “Weekend in London” cover
