Cons
Con Not much usable unless you have a whole Star Trek crew with you...
Used a couple times, maybe an hour of experience so far. Can't even understand what's happening yet!
- No simple 1-2-3 steps. Rather, 4 split panes, so many blobs of info, too many panes, columns, lines and subtleties, AND NO CLEAR WORKFLOW / DIRECTION to go!! The UI is so confusing!! Seriously, since when mp3 tagging became a science? Cmon geeks, USABILITY!! 1-2-3, BAM! Life's too short...
- Cluster: what's that? It's scary!!
- Lookup / Scan: why 2 buttons, isn't it the same thing?
- What's the work flow ? With a GUI, it should be obvious: step 1 do A, then 2 = B, 3 = C, etc etc... Why is there so many buttons and places to click ?
Ah what the heck, maybe we should just pay for a USABLE tool! ;-)
Con Missing database entries
While community members can freely add metadata to their database, less well-known albums and artists may not have additions.
