“Before -UPD-, I spent 40% of my time fixing metadata,” Tim says, sipping from a mug that reads “FLAC is not a format, it’s a lifestyle.” “Now? I drop a folder into the -UPD- scanner, and it automatically checks for sector boundaries, verifies against the AccurateRip database, and if it’s a new master, it suggests the correct release year and even fetches high-res scans of the original liner notes from the community archive.” Flacbros -UPD-
