no textual metadata

all FPs in the database have at least one MBID associated with them

coo’

(that requirement will probably go away, because many people don't like that)

Hmm.

What’s the use of it without the MBID?

it's mostly for private mapping

aww damn

stupid qt

e.g. somebody has a small catalog of music and want to check some audio they downloaded, so they can use acoustid without having the songs in MB

I always forget that my mounted stuff is hidden in those tree thingies :/

luks, check what?

Tecfan: if it's one of the songs from their catalog

so it's not the same as what last.fm's fingerprint command line tool thingie does?

I'm not sure what it does

takes a music file from your collection

compares fingerprints against last.fm database

and returns the meta data for the songs it matches

no, this is just the submission tool

great for tracks you don't have any tags for.. or when you want to bust people who post other people's music under their own name

there are a few command-line applications like that

check my comment : D

but it's just sample code on how to use the service

not expected to be used by end users

long story short: a friend of mine posted other people's music under his name and was damn serious about it.... i busted him with the fingerprinting thing

and then he would never speak to me again lol

of course that is the goal of the project, to identify music :)

luks: anyway, this acoustid thingy has the same problem as picard on macs - http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/5308 :/

i would love an application that would find all my untagged music with a tool like that and tag it automatically from MB

Tecfan: picard? :)

using PUID's?

nikki: yeah, that's expected :(

Tecfan: yes

well that requires two programs ;>

what is the other one?

picard can't fingerprint the songs

of course it can

it couldn't earlier today ;>

oh, was MusicDNS down again?

i don't know

maybe i am misunderstanding something

<hawke__> but it doesn’t actually create the PUIDs.

you need a separate program to submit new fingerprints to the database

not to lookup a file

ok :>

but still

would be nice to have that in one program

what's the use of it when they make it hard to upload

i could submit thousands of PUID's but i won't bother because i have to .. download yet another program :>

I think MusicDNS was always just a side-product

but yeah, the PUID situation is the reason why I started working on this

any way i can help?

submit fingerprints :)

are there any requirements for id3 tags to be correct?

all the files have to be tagged in a MusicBrainz-enabled application

so they must have MBID?

yes, they need to have embedded MBIDs

does your program find these files by itself or do I have to point them out?

you have to point it to a folder and it will find the ones that it can submit

works on w7 64-bit? :> i'll let it run over the night

hmm... changing m_directoryModel->setRootPath(""); didn't do exactly what I expected, but it added what I wanted to the tree at least

not sure, but nobody complained about that (and most submissions come from windows users), so I expect it does

http://acoustid.org/, was it?

yes

do you have an exceutable?

somehow i thought Chromaprint was the program'

that's a library implementing the fingerprinting algorithm

wow

it look's exactly the same as the last.fm standalone fingerprinter

hawke_: it means that nay releases under "tropicála" or whatever will be put under VA, where they will fester in invisibility

what

they instead should be fixed per release, per track

luks: it says fingerprinting.. x of y

where y is insanely much higher than actual songs with MBID's

also new2 releases added (erroneously) will be auto put on VA

Tecfan: y is just how many songs are there

Tecfan: I imagine it doesn't know which don't have mbids yet

Tecfan: it will go though them and skip the oes that don't have MBIDs

ok

i see some goes fast and some goes slow

yeah

hahah

i enjoy seeing how many of my artists beginning with A have MBID's

and it will just get fewer and fewer and fewer..

*sigh* all those unfinished projects

every time i get an idea that i want to sort my music folder or anything like that, it fails on letters B or C

heh

because i over-perfectionate it (is that a word)?

probably not, but inventing words is fun :P

hehe

Tecfan: I just moved everything from /mnt/music into '/mnt/music/unsorted'.

lol

Tecfan: I am not allowed to play anything from that dir unless I properly tag it first (and move it to /mnt/music/tagged afterward).

ok, that might actually work

it's a bit of a slow start but you'll have the most important albums sorted in a week or two.

i ended up throwing every folder in one big folder

and just let my music player sort it

if id3 tags are missing i add them whenever i see one playing misses

and that usually includes renaming with picard and making folder structure for that particular artist

but as long as my scrobbles are correct i don't care anymore

heck, i've even started deleting music

:O

2nd june 2008

the day i started deleting music

warp: that depends how much self-discipline you have :P

natta

holy shit!

i've deleted over 60 days worth of music

I have a similar rule, I'm not allowed to play untagged songs in Quod Libet, but can use another player :)

nikki: well, even if you don't strictly stick to the rule... it still is a nice clear seperation between those albums which have MBIDs and those which may not have MBIDs.

But as I use Cog for all now

I don't really scrobble anymore and I don't look

Why?

Why?

I have my music split between tagged and untagged, but I have lots of rips from before max included mbids :/

wow, we're a picky bunch

lol

reosarevok: it moves files, not directories.

ouch

ruaok: of course. what would mb be without people obsessed with their metadata? :P

warp: so?

(well, my "to order" is just folders dropped as they came from the .rars, so maybe if yours is not, I understand)

reosarevok: so it may move files into an existing directory if I happen to have an album twice. it will also probably not move all files it should be moving.

.rars :(

(you can tell it to move all files along with the music)

oh and I have some fairly strange rules in my head about where stuff should go :)

my folder system was based on genres

and sub-genres

and sub-sub-genres..

and sub sub sub sub

didn't work out all too well

experimental prog-blues metal

but that's mostly flat.

witch house, chillwave, chill witch, ghost step, midicore, midigrind, nintendogrind, cybergrind, nintendocore, mathcore, frenchcore, filthstep, math pop, post rock, math rock, acid jazz, nu jazz, drone, soundscape, don't get me started... it was hell on earth

you'll be amazed how many sub-genres of progressive rock there are

fewer sub genres than from house music. :)

People are craaaazy
