Song Kong, best program for missing metadata and art.

Pros
Song Kong isn't perfect, yet ! Issues remaining after the program has run its course is very minor compared with remaining effects of all the other software programs such as Tuneup, Tagalicious, and Leawo Tunes Cleaner. Laewo Tunes Cleaner is better than TuneUp but Song Kong in my opinion blows away all the others. Sorting out the minor issues after using Song Kong is far less time consuming and far less problematic than with the other programs.
Cons
Song Kong only got a 4.5 stars because the instructions need to be clearer especially in making choices under the "Monitor Watch Folder". It needs to be clarified as to what effect "File Naming" and "Format" options does to affect metadata. In my case I liked the old way the I could list my music by artist first, then by album. The options to do this within iTunes 11 may be part of the cause my album listing is hit or miss. But this is a minor detail.
Also it would be nice to really under stand the purpose of the "Move Folder" function. It needs to be more clear as to why you need the "Move Folder" function to be activated.
There are other minor grammatical issues but more more clarification is all that is really needed.
Summary
Other than the issues I mentioned, Song Kong is by far the absolute king of software for finding missing data for my music. The issues I referred to may be my misunderstanding of how the program works. I was blown away after Song Kong did its thing. I found minimal issues. The only thing Song Kong seems have problems with was related to CD;s with various artists like my concert albums. Songs on a CD that were done by the same artists on other CD's were sometimes added. I just deleted the other album with the single song that was added.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Oct 20, 2013<p/>Other than the issues I mentioned, Song Kong is by far the absolute king of software for finding missing data for my music.
