If you’ve ever ripped CDs yourself, you’ve probably wished that the resulting album information (metadata) was cleaner and more organized. With DataClean™, dmp3 Music’s proprietary post-encoding ID3 tag cleanup process, every order is scanned for incorrect or inconsistent metadata, and then cleaned to produce a super-organized, ready to use digital music library and file directory. Every order includes a job summary of any anomalies.

DataClean™ Guarantee - We are confident that our delivered data is the best in the industry. If you are not completely satisfied with the quality and organization of your delivered music library, we will correct any problems free of charge, or refund your money.

DataClean™ Process:

• Artist, Album, Song Name, Genre, Track Number and Disc Number tags are checked for accuracy and consistency.

• All tracks are scanned to ensure that no errors have been made during encoding and that there are no missing or unplayable tracks.

• All files are scanned for proper file name length and universal character usage. This ensures that all files are compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems.

• Duplicate CDs are eliminated. These are often found in consolidated collections.

• Leading ‘The’ is removed so that ‘The Rolling Stones’ and ‘Rolling Stones’ become ‘Rolling Stones’, listed under ‘R’ in digital audio players and file directories.

• All artists are checked and edited to read 'First Name' then 'Last Name' - i.e. ‘Cohen, Leonard’ becomes ‘Leonard Cohen’.

• All albums are checked and edited to eliminate duplicate album titles - i.e. if an album is named ‘Greatest Hits’, it’s appended to read ‘Greatest Hits - Barry White’.

• All compilations are tagged as compilations, eliminating stray folders that contain only one or two songs. This process also creates easier compilation browsing in most digital music player applications.

• Multiple disc set album tags are scanned and edited to standardize disc number inconsistencies  - i.e. ‘[Disc 1]’, ‘Disc 1’ and ‘Disk One’ become ‘(Disc 1)’.

• Basic genre consolidation for browsing ease – i.e. ‘Rock’ and ‘Pop’ become ‘Rock/Pop’.

• Classical music song name, album and artist tag inconsistencies are scanned and edited – i.e. ‘Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’ and ‘W.A. Mozart’ become ‘Mozart’.

• Embedded album art is reviewed and corrected for accuracy upon request.

• Additional ID3 tag customization is available upon request.
