Now when I need to go back to make corrections (e.g., where 2 discs are listed separately but are really part of the same set, cover art missing), do I do so in MiniM? If so, is there a guide how to do so?

Where XLD did not locate the cover art, do I need to scan it or is there a better way to add it? How?

Thanks in advance.

You can't make tag changes using MinimServer. For this, you need a tagging program. A good tagging program for the Mac is Metadatics.

A bit of web searching should locate a cover art image for almost any album. The image might be low-resolution, though.

Thanks for the quick response. I know these are dumb questions but:

1. If I find the cover art on the web, how do I download it to go with the music file? Is there a way to load it through XLD?
2. How does a program like Metadatics interact with XLD and or the files on Minim?
