Tried to download the Windows version, but got an error saying the file is corrupt.  Please advise.

Worked fine for me just now. Try again.

Just click on SqueezePlay-setup.exe, correct?

I have Squeezecenter 7.5

I am using mp3tag but find I have to do each cd individually and it takes quite a few minuets.  when I select the cds tracks I just ripped it will then provide a list of cd versions for me to pick from.  Is this the only way to do it or will it do say 10 selected cds all in a row by itself overnite?

I run across this a lot.  I think it is because mutliple tag versions of the same album are uploaded to the internet tracker.  If that's the case then it doesn't matter which software you use, all will have the same problem.

I'm a fan of EAC and mp3tag.  I used Mediamonkey for a while but it was getting bogged down and I eventually dumped it when it's database got corrupted.  As someone said earlier, it is the tagging convention that is critical, not the file naming system

thanks for the update.  I guess I just take my time and rip and tag as I go.

Tried it again and this time it worked!   :D

Anyone know how to make the screen larger?

I use J River Media Jukebox.  I have used Meedio, MediaMonkey, Foobar, and others in the past.

I use it to organize, tag, play and xfer to portable.  It has ASIO support and lot's of customization for sorting and displaying.

I currently have 700GB of FLAC from my large CD collection.

I have posted screen shots and a description of how I use it here:

For cataloging my vinyl and CDs I use Collectorz.

Bumping this, as I am also looking for a software solution for an existing music folder with legacy files.

I have a dedicated 1TB drive with my master music folder that has grown over the past 5 years.  It has a mix of albums with early backups of .wav files without album artwork or tags all the way up to current / recent backups using dbpower amp in flac format.

Is there a software solution that can scan an existing music folder and add all necessary/missing album artwork and tags?

Thanks

Look into J. River. Very powerful. Very easy to manually add cover art for what can't be auto-tagged. Apps that use MusicBrainz database can help to tag stuff not found in J. River database for tagging.

May be limitations if you go with the free Jukebox version. the full version is worth easily twice as much as what they charge.

I use an Excel spreadsheet I turned up. Originally it was for a book collection, but I modified it a bit.  It's fairly rudimentary-I just list artist, album title and DVD # that I burnt my FLAC files backup to, but it does the trick so long as you keep it up.  If anyone is interested in the template, send me a PM and I can shoot it your way.
