A lot of the time, when we insert a CD to rip using the FLAC encoder, some or a lot of the metadata fields are filed in right away with the appropriate or nearly-correct values. However, when going to the Review Metadata Matches window, the column headings for AMG, GD3, MusicBrainz and FreedB are dimmed (greyed out) and no matches are indicated.
There seems to be no way to understand where the tag information originated. Was it included in CD-Text, did it come from some other database or what? How can we tell? This is more than just a mystery to us that we'd like to solve. We'd really like to "understand" what we're doing as we rip thousands of albums, one-at-a-time, carefully ensuring that all of the tags are complete, consistent and correct.
Where can we learn more about the use of CD-Text, CD-UPC, and CD-ISRC as sources of metadata.
The question remains, however: "How can we determine the source of the metadata when it's not obvious where it came from?"
Thanks in advance.
