Missing Album Art, MetaData? Try SongKong!

I'm going to try today or tomorrow. I've used TuneUp in the past, but by all reports, SongKong is better.
 
This looks like it could be the holy grail for digital music collection organization, I look forward to reading about your evaluations of it! TIA
 
Thanks Mike, that does look like a great program. I don't have much of a collection yet but that would be very useful.

I'd like to know if it'll access folders on a server or will it only work on files on a local hard drive.

Worked with my NAS no problem. Started running it late last night. Will report back on findings.
 
I wish you found this a few weeks ago, sorted all my album art out manually! :¬)

No tagging though, this may help there.
 
It seems to be working just fine for me... I'm only having the program download artwork. It's accessing music on my server and it's taken close to 20 hours and it'll probably take another few hours to finish the job.
 
Finished it. I would give it a 7.5/10. It didn't crash, worked quickly, but left some albums (roughly 25%) untouched. Accuracy was very good. Excellent.
 
From what I've read on the SongKong website and forums it doesn't currently support DSD files, and on some large collections can take a day or more to run!
 
Tried it. Took a couple hours and managed to find most missing artwork. I'd say 20% still unchanged with no artwork. Not bad.

Besides artwork, I heard it finds tags for untagged music? Does it canonize tags (e.g. David Bowie, Bowie, David and Bowie end up tagged in te same category)? Does it reorganize folders or just tags? Rename files? Does it suppress duplicates? Does it handle non-canonic tags (e.g. conductor, composer, disc number, etc.? Can you set a format preference (e.g. if you have AIFF and MP3 versions of the same music, keep only AIFF)?

Those are some of the things my ideal library manager would do. Ideally it would also sync it between different discs and have a cloud backup.
