From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My primary interest is popular music. A long term project of mine is to convert the music I own, CDs and LPs, to computer files. In the process, I discovered that the various ripping software I tried were not very good at automatically filling in the associated metadata. Too often the information was either inaccurate or missing altogether. So I began searching for and checking the data to be included in my "music library" versus other sources.

I mentioned the above to a friend who suggested I include what I found in Wikipedia. I thought this would be a good idea and began editing and creating articles which coincided with my music collection.

The specific metadata which I attempt to include with each music file are:

  • Title
  • Artist
  • Album
  • Track no.
  • Length
  • Date
  • Composer
  • Producer
  • Label
  • Cover art
