I gave up, it’s too time-consuming when you can stream most tracks nowadays . The snag is, to add meta data, you need to record each song as a file. Check this out:

You could capture each side using Audacity and use Silence Finder to split into separate track files.

Buy the CD on eBay for a few pounds, add to apple Music app with a portable usb dvd/cd player connected to laptop, it will have the best quality compared to vinyl and it will be available on all your devices.

I thought Audacity could add metadata - I am sure it can for WAV files anyway.

Agree with Gremlin that Audacity can add meta data but as he says its a manual process.

Yup. If you digitise vinyl, you get a single track with some silences in it. A CD is multiple tracks, and a Table Of Contents (TOC). The TOC is basically unique for each CD (what are the changes of two different CD's having tracks of exactly the same lengths?), so you can use the TOC as a lookup as to what the CD is. https://gnudb.org/ or Gracenote are examples of these indexes.
