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.
