How to Organize a Music Collection With Mediamonkey

Install MediaMonkey. The free version will do.

Run MediaMonkey and let it scan your drive/network for music files.

Since MediaMonkey will find all the sound files on your computer, you will want to remove any irrelevant files from your library. This can be done by selecting the files and pressing 'Delete'. (Hint: it is easier to first sort the items by Path).

Remove duplicate files from library. Go to the sidebar on the left, and navigate to - Library->Files to edit->Duplicate Titles. It can be easier if you sort the items by path.

Go to the 'Files to Edit' node to locate all tracks that are missing information. Click the 'Album' heading to sort by Album.

Lookup missing information and album art by selecting all the tracks from an album and right-click 'Auto-tag from Amazon'.

If the information can't be located in Amazon's database, look up the information manually via www.allmusic.com and update the tracks manually by selecting them and right-clicking 'Properties'.

Once track tags are updated, you'll want to organize the files on your drive in a consistent format. Select all the tracks in the MediaMonkey library by clicking and click Tools | Auto-Organize
