SongKong comes with some predefined profiles, these are sets of preferences tuned for different scenarios. Once a task is started SongKong can run unattended on large music collections with no user
interaction, but it can take some time so if running for the first time on your whole collection we recommend you run SongKong overnight.
Unlike many conventional taggers you do not need to fix one album at a time, SongKong can be applied to your whole collection in one go.
Run
Status Report
on your music collection, this gives you a nice web report and spreadsheet report of your music library and its metadata before any changes are made.
Consider do you want
Fix Songs
to completely fix your music library (
Default
profile), only add missing data without modifying any existing data (
Fix Songs, add new metadata only
profile), or only improve artwork (
Fix Songs, add artwork only
profile) and select the current profile before selecting Fix Songs.
You can run with
Preview only
option enabled or just go for it, since all changes are also stored in SongKongs database so you can run
Undo Changes
if there is anything you don’t like.
There are many options you can modify, but the defaults work well for most people.
Select
Start
and SongKong will start analysing and fixing your songs and will create a detailed html report showing the results.
Now your songs have better metadata you could also run
Delete Duplicates
if you have full Melco license.
SongKong automated fixing should match most but not all of your files, so you can
Edit Songs Manually
to add metadata for albums that were not identified.
Once completed you need may need to update the index of your music server to pick up the changes made by SongKong.
