I've always heard bad things about musicmatch and tagging, so I've always avoided it

Probably an issue with musicmatch. I've been using it to rip my CD's because it's easy. Maybe I should switch to another program,.
2004-01-01 00104, 2004
melange
I recommend CDex and LAME
2004-01-01 00134, 2004

I think the encoder in MusicMatch is considered pretty crappy too, if I recall correctly
2004-01-01 00135, 2004
Go186K
Works on both win32 and linux?
2004-01-01 00152, 2004
melange
CDex is win32 only, I think, so yeah
2004-01-01 00119, 2004
Go186K
No problem. My linux box has been out of commission for almost a year.
2004-01-01 00132, 2004
melange
there might be better things out there now, it's been a while since I was a win32 person
2004-01-01 00106, 2004

whats wrong with it?

Wish I could say the same. My kids need win32 for games so our computers are mostly running XP.

with the occasional dual-boot into win98 for some games, that's fairly rare though
2004-01-01 00121, 2004

As soon as I get my CD collection ripped I'm going to rebuild the linux box with new HW and run SAMBA.
2004-01-01 00129, 2004

I'll check out CDex and LAME for the rest of my ripping. MusicMatch is beginning to be a headache.

I need a library manager though.

Too many files.

do you know what encoder musicmatch uses? Blade? Xing? Fraunhofer?
2004-01-01 00112, 2004

It was a bit "dirty" though, code-wise. It will get done, honest.

I'm not terribly fussed, it's only a minor thing
2004-01-01 00142, 2004

doesn't phase me, it was more of a "hey, that's not right, better tell someone" rather than a "everything is broken" thing :)

yeah, that's probably not such a bad idea
2004-01-01 00143, 2004

2004-01-01 00141, 2004

can you explain the trm lookup count value?
2004-01-01 00146, 2004
djce
sure
2004-01-01 00105, 2004
djce
every time the tagger, or some other app, calls the lookup-info-by-TRM-id function
2004-01-01 00113, 2004
djce
then the lookupcount for that TRM goes up by one
2004-01-01 00125, 2004
melange
ok
2004-01-01 00102, 2004
melange
so, if I find what looks to be a homebrew/bogus album, and the TRMs have only been hit, like, once, I can use that to back up my theory?
2004-01-01 00124, 2004
melange
and how can a trm have 0 lookups?
2004-01-01 00140, 2004
djce
sounds likely, yes. It could well mean that that album has only been tagged once or twice.
2004-01-01 00143, 2004
melange
(presuming the lookup count gets bumped when it's put into the database)
2004-01-01 00152, 2004
djce
When a TRM is first generated, it's count is zero.
2004-01-01 00157, 2004
melange
ok
2004-01-01 00102, 2004
djce
So after the first round of tagging, it's still zero.
2004-01-01 00124, 2004
djce
it only starts going up if you force an "analyze again" (?) on those files again
2004-01-01 00136, 2004

on this album http://musicbrainz.org/album/cf176073-45f9-4110-a… it seems like "Album, offical" is a pending change, but if you view album mods, you will see there is no pending changes. Why is it highlighted?
