I don't often get excited about computer software, but our new Data Grooming software is really exciting (well for me anyway).
The features list is greatly improved so in turn our clients get a better service. First, we've increased the list of classical composers in the database. Previously we'd found 40 pretty adequate but we've got many more now. I'll be surprised if we find any names to be added to the list.
Handling artist names is also much better. We can now remove one of the most annoying features of modern music - tha apparently endless use of 'featuring', 'feat.' and so on. It can increase the number of performers in a collection and make it hard to find the track you want via the Artist route. Well, say that annoyance goodbye.
Handling Disc 1 etc is more thorough, adding artist name to 'Best of' and 'Greatest Hits' works just as well, and is a little faster.
There's a facility to correct the inappropriate use of capital letters though I've yet to get to grips with the detail of how that works.
Anyway, enough for now, I'm off to play with our new toy. Any data you'd like us to groom for you?
