I think it’s also possible to let iTunes still see my music without managing it and messing with the files and folders, right? Would be a way to still aync the music with my iPod Classic I use in the car.

So I think dbPoweramp and Roon is all I need then? No need for another library/database manager I suppose? Turning off Roon Genres and on File Genres in the import settings lets me do just that. I think using Roon to manage the database and do it’s magic whith a little push from dbPoweramp for the genres like Geoff suggests should do the trick fine and allow me to implement my own genres. I like the Roon system fine but when it comes to genres I have my own ideas. JRiver works in a similar way to iTunes, it reads metadata from files as they are loaded but then stores them in its own library.

#PERFECTTUNES AUTOMATIC ID TAG EDITING MAC#
I would suggest you open your files in a tag editor such as mp3tag/ or jaikoz to see what data is stored in the file, then if data is missing and you are on a Mac you could use ‘dougscripts’ to get that data out, the options are more limited on Windows. Then there are WAV files, although WAV can now properly support metadata iTunes ignores this fact and only stores WAV metadata in the library. Now there are some complications there are some fields that are supported by most audio metadata formats such as Playcount, but iTunes chooses to store this only in the library anyway.

The Xml file is just a way to viiew the libraries contents it is now depcrecated by Apple and no longer created by default in iTunes. If it is a field that cannot be supported by the audio formats metadata then it is only stored in the library. What iTunes does depends a bit on the audio format, so if it thinks the audio format can support particular metadata it is stored in the file itself then it is stored in the file and the library.
