A couple of uses cases, looking for input or perhaps enhancement request
Hello,
I use PerfectTUNES on a large library of 145,000 files (~10,000 albums) and it has greatly helped identify inconsistencies. The illustrate team has implemented several of my suggestions into the product and appreciate their support.
Below are some additional capabilities I would like to see. If there are suggestions to address without enhancement certainly open to them.
Background for first few enhancements: The ability to exclude an album from AccurateRip has worked well and was a feature I specifically requested. However, a few minor tweaks would optimize this feature further.

- From AccurateRip section: A bulk select of albums in the metadata categories to allow Exclude/Restore album in the comparison would be helpful. An alternative to this would be to simply run a user initiated one-time check on "Excluded from AccurateRip" albums against AccurateRip to see if any are now recognized. While I normally only exclude items I am pretty certain will never show up in your database, would like to check these every so often. The process of clicking one album at a time to restore and re-exclude is very time consuming such that I really never recheck.
- From AccurateRip section: For a number of albums that are downloaded from various digital sources they often get marked as length of album is different than original. I tend to mark these as "exclude" but would like to have a separate category for digitally sourced. This would allow easy separation of actual physical CD to digital rip comparisons from digitally sourced redbook downloads that I think are most likely accurate.
- From ID Tags section: In the sort resorts could there be an option to have tracks with sort metadata at the top of window? Versus scrolling through to check to see if any exist.
- From ID Tags section: This one was previously requested so wanted to mention it again - the consistency checks occur within a single category of metadata - ie Artists doesn't compare to Composers. Ideally the checks would be done across Artists, Album Artists, and Composers. Other cross categories matches don't really make sense.
- From ID Tags section: When inconsistencies are noted there is some decision made by PerfectTUNES to which is the correct value to recommend. Sometimes I don't agree with that choice but there is not an easy way to choose to not change in fact replicate my choice to all files. I often have to note manually what was recommended, search for that value, and manually change it to the match I want. Could consider a 2nd column to keep value and update all files to that value?
- From ID Tags section: In the search box it would be great if you could use RegEx expressions. Suspect this is somewhat of a big lift to consider.
