Is there a good MetaData program that will work with Media Browser?
MetaBrowser is what i had used before, but now its a bunch of money :(


how do you other guys with large libraries handle this?
 
MCM as others have said is the best imo.

Just to save yourself headaches name the folder you are putting your movie/tv into is named exactly as it is on imdb. For example:

The Goonies (1985)
Alien (1979)

I typically browse imdb and just highlight the tilte + (year) then make a new folder and paste the name in.

Rarely has MCM failed to get images for a given film but if it does just goto images.google.com and grab something. MCM will not overwrite existing images unless you force it to.
 
Another vote for Media Center Master! Very good program for gathering media meta data.

Yea I ran into this problem since it auto-searches and can get kind of picky. Also be careful that it picks the right movie... I had Gladiator in a folder and it seemed to think it was some other movie called "gladiator" about kids in the hood playing basketball. Not difficult to work around, but it was kinda funny seeing that come up instead of Russel Crowe
 
I've been downloading the xml files manually for my movies in WMC.

I may look into this now as my library continues to grow, and the manual process becomes less than satisfactory
