        I'm convinced half my unsorted crap is duplicates, and already in the database, just really badly tagged in the unsorted bin. Hoping getting the puids in makes those easy to find.

        yllona - I am basically a technophobe. I love computers and what they can do for me but I hate mp3's, would rather listen to music direct from the CD or vinyl and, therefore, cannot see the need for me personally to ever tag anything.

        at a certain point, thousands of CDs, tapes, etc, becomes just too hard to handle - so I took it all digital

        puids are still very unreliable for the type of muisc i listen to.
