Tried SongKong last night and so far I am not getting on very well. I followed installation instructions for Linux (I am running openSUSE Leap42.2 which is 64 bit, with KDE desktop) and ran the shell script. Seemed to be OK and SongKong v4.6 (Trial) opened a window on my desktop.

My experiences so far:-
1st try the album was not found in musicbrainz or anywhere else.

2nd try with a different album, the album appeared to be found but I was unable to find any screens to compare my present tagging with what is proposed. I had expected to find this but could not open anything.
3rd try with same album and while going through the tabs on Monitor Watch Folder the application crashed with a message to report to you. Sadly I couldn't cut and paste the message so I shall try and replicate. Do you wish me to proceed to give you feedback and should I communicate here, pm or email?

Hi Budgie.
Sorry your experience so far has not been upto expectation. So firstly I would generally recommend you run SongKong over your whole collection, this gives a much better view of its matching coverage then working one album at a time since it is impossible to predict what albums it will match and what it will not. Looking at your comments I am not clear if you are using FixSongs or Monitor Watch Folder, if using Fix Songs it should create and open a report in your browser, then click on the Song Changes section on the left hand side, it will open up below folders that have been modified, select a folder and it shows the list of files changed on the right hand side, select one of them and it shows all the fields that have been changed with their old and new values. But if using Monitor Watch Folder this continuously watches a folder looking for new folders added to it, it never ends until you have cancelled it, once you have cancelled it a report is then generated that would show changes.

Regarding the error, if you restart SongKong, select Help:Create Support Files and then email support@jthink.net the zip file that would give me the information required.
