If a song still gets tracked to a collection, drag it back to unmatched, google the album and add it to the tag, then lookup again. Now the sliders come into play and most likely you’ll get matched with the correct album rather than some random collection. Then I removed almost all the tags except for the title and artist, drag them back to unmatched on the left and hit lookup. At this point the sliders people talk about doesn’t work because tracks are being matched only by their finger print which probably has matched to a collection, thanks to people who have submitted every fingerprint for collections. I used scan to get the artists and titles (doesn’t always work right though, specially for non-English songs so do in small batches and double check them). I had lots of files with incomplete, bad, or no tag at all. So as a recap for anyone else who might have this problem: If you want very specific tags (eg you want to have everything matched to a very precise release) it will take more time, but that’s up to you. Not any I would trust anyway.Ī cursory check to make sure they’re in the albums you want is all you should have to do. In general though I would never hit save without checking what Picard has matched your files with first, unless it’s on a backup of your files… there’s no such thing as an ‘auto-tag’ package out there unfortunately. Scan is very useful if you have bad or no tags though, or are trying to identify a unknown track. ‘Lookup’ does the search based on your tags. Scan ignores all existing tags and simply searches for the same audio - which for popular tracks means Picard is guessing what you want out of possibly hundreds of releases with the track on it. If you already have correct album tags you probably don’t need ‘scan’. Looking up based on the artist and track name combined with sliders seems to hand better results rather than scanning the files.
