That's not a bad idea but here's the problem. If you have even a thousand songs, going through all the corrections (or even going through them as the individual songs play) is either a pain or it largely negates the value of fixing the metadata -- namely the ability to quickly find what you're looking for with fuzzy search -- which we're about to roll out as well...

This is the only app I am actually excited for. Peter is there a master list of coming features you could put up? That way I don't have to harass you so much?

Next up project for Peter: A picture viewer that scroll a la Apple album art view UI. No one has ever created that for N900. We need something that makes viewing pictures better than just a flat scroller. A 3 dimensional picture viewer.

Are people looking for the ability to edit the tags themselves, or for instinctiv to do it for them ? It seems to me that the former would be most useful, allowing any changes you like, and only those changes, while the latter would have to work by magic - to guess what that track really is, and would require, presumably, the user confirmation previously discussed...

I really like it, but if you have a typo in your song tag, or a bad tag, missing, ambiguous, etc, it's dead.
Too bad. Mighty useful in small quantities. It takes about 3000 times less time to move all data to a PC, re-tag it and put it back, which takes time, effort, and has the distinct disadvantage of pre-selecting songs, pre-ordering them and loses mobility.
Last I checked, it also lacks mass corrections. One can't auto-apply the same art to several songs in the same album. I did check a while ago, though.

- auto correcting data
- over the air song recognition (like if hear a song on the radio and you want to know what it's called)
- wireless, two way sync (so you can play all the songs on your desktop and any songs you add or playlists you change on your mobile will propagate back to your desktop)
