Final cleaning of music Library

Hi, after many tries and thanks to the posts here I have managed to get my Music library in a decent shape. Originally I had used Jriver and sometimes in combination with MusicBrainz to tag and order my files, but after upgrading my USB interface to my DAC CuBox with OpenElec is performing at least as well as my Soundaware hardware streamer so i decided to migrate from Jriver/Streamer to KODI even for Music.

Had a lot of problems since my old tagging didn’t conform to KODI standards but now most problems like MusicID showing instead of performers names etc is gone. I guess its the usual problems on various artists discs and such.

Anyway, I have a few issues left and since everything now is basically correct I’d like to ask for advice before i destroy it all.

I have 2 issues left:

  1. KODI while scanning online is reading names of russin artists in Russian letter, Chinese artists in Chinese and Japanese artists in Japanese. Album titles and song titles seem unaffected.
  2. I’d like to remove some artists from the list / for example I am interested in keeping solists, composers and conductors to be seen when i look at artist view, but In some cases it show orchestra, wich I mostly am not interested in.
  3. Update artists pictures and info – right now I see a picture of the artists Robyn as default for any artist that are less known.

The way I was thinking of doing it is:

  1. Export all library as separate .nfo to the album folders.
  2. Use MediaElch to change the non-Latin alphabets into Latin.
  3. Save in MediaElch, delete KODI Music database and rescan from local source and uncheck the button that prefer online sources.
  4. If the above works, I use MediaElch again to update Artist pictures and info. Then Save the info and rescan from local source again.

Will this work? I realise that I didnt adress the issue of removinf orchestras, but then i need to remove both the orchestra nd the corresponding MusicBrainzID for the artist, right?
