Hi rednoah.
Based on:

Promo Codes are available to any and all open-source developers that have contributed anything of value to any open-source project (developers, maintainers, designers, translators, etc).
Do you regularly contribute to society without expecting to get paid? e.g. suicide hotline, language teaching for immigrants, voluntary fire and rescue service, etc. You most definitely deserve a promo code!
I'd like to humbly request a promo code.
I do much for the Chocolatey FOSS community by making 3rd party add ons and maintain over 300 packages:

BTW: Have you added any more data sources to FileBot since 4.79? IMHO AcoustID is horrible at providing MP# data. It doesn't supply track # info for many of the albums in my collection. If you haven't already, it would be great to add iTunes or Amazon support. :)
TIA,
Bill

OK, please PM me name + email.

:idea: AcoustID is guess work since it's based on audio finger print only, and usually yield multiple valid results, making it difficult which release you want, if there's more than one for a given track.

:idea: Personally, using ID3 tags works best and is most reliable. Music files purchases from iTunes / Amazon are probably well-tagged, so using ID3 / MediaInfo should work well without any online lookup (which iTunes and Amazon don't provide APIs for AFAIK).

:idea: Presets Example 5 might be useful for dealing with iTunes media: viewtopic.php?t=3228
