      • Milosz
        I've started writing a JNI layer for TagLib
      • 2014-01-08 00852, 2014

      • Milosz
        maybe someone in here will be happy to know that I'm aiming to add tagging capabilities using MusicBrainz data in this app
      • 2014-01-08 00846, 2014

      • Milosz
        now I've got playback using libVLC, and tag reading using TagLib

        tagging + musicbrainz data I think that's gonna be a first

      • Mattx
        how many artists are added daily? does musicbrainz keeps updated with the latest/most popular artists from, MTV let's say?
      • 2014-01-08 00813, 2014

      • Mineo
        you can check the rate of change graph at http://musicbrainz.org/statistics/timeline/main#+… for the number of new artists per day
      • 2014-01-08 00837, 2014

      • Milosz
        Mattx, aside from Mineo's tip I found that it's very much up to date even with very new releases
      • 2014-01-08 00812, 2014

      • hawke1
        Mattx: There is no concerted effort to keep up-to-date with the latest artists, though, if that’s what you meant.
      • 2014-01-08 00841, 2014

      • Mattx
        ~180 artists updated daily is quite a lot
      • 2014-01-08 00810, 2014

      • Freso
        Mattx: Mainstream artists are generally pretty updated.
      • 2014-01-08 00827, 2014

      • Freso
        And I guess that's pretty much the only thing MTV has.
      • 2014-01-08 00855, 2014

      • Mattx
        I was checkin echonest and lastfm api
      • 2014-01-08 00810, 2014

      • Mattx
        and most artists/albums/etc there are in mb as well
      • 2014-01-08 00822, 2014

      • Freso
        Mattx: Last.FM at least uses MusicBrainz data.
      • 2014-01-08 00837, 2014

      • Freso
        I don't remember if EchoNest does or not.
      • 2014-01-08 00841, 2014

      • Mattx
        yep, but it adds data from somewhere else too
      • 2014-01-08 00803, 2014

      • Freso
        Mattx: Well, scrobbling obviously.

      • 2014-01-08 00831, 2014

      • Milosz
        Mattx, hmm well... do you have an Android device?
      • 2014-01-08 00835, 2014

      • Mattx
        yes
      • 2014-01-08 00837, 2014

      • Milosz
        I wouldn't mind giving you a beta APK
      • 2014-01-08 00844, 2014

      • Milosz
        what version does it run?
      • 2014-01-08 00847, 2014

      • Mattx
        I thought it was in the app store
      • 2014-01-08 00851, 2014

      • Milosz
        no no it's not published yet

      • Milosz
        Freso, ok thanks!
      • 2014-01-08 00816, 2014

      • Milosz
        4.2 that should work
      • 2014-01-08 00807, 2014

      • Milosz
        It's actually great because I'm going to be looking for beta testers
      • 2014-01-08 00816, 2014

      • Milosz
        it's not in a horrible beta stage where nothing works, though
      • 2014-01-08 00831, 2014

      • Milosz
        just that it still doesn't have some things I want for the M1
      • 2014-01-08 00833, 2014

      • Freso
        Milosz: No problem. :) It's always neat having more people actually use the data we spend so much time entering and wardening.
      • 2014-01-08 00841, 2014

      • Mattx
        ok, give me a link and I'll try it

        Mattx, ok great.. I'M exporting an APK
      • 2014-01-08 00805, 2014

      • Milosz
        where do you upload stuff these days.. I guess at MEGA
      • 2014-01-08 00838, 2014

      • Mattx
        no, in my server
      • 2014-01-08 00846, 2014

      • Freso
        Android 2.2.2... aw. Well, if I get a newer version, I might like to beta test too.
      • 2014-01-08 00859, 2014

      • Freso
        Or Dropbox.
      • 2014-01-08 00802, 2014

      • Milosz
        Dropbox hmm
      • 2014-01-08 00804, 2014

      • Mattx
        or dropbox, yeah
      • 2014-01-08 00804, 2014

      • Milosz
        right
      • 2014-01-08 00847, 2014

      • Milosz
        ok dropbox it is
      • 2014-01-08 00843, 2014

      • Milosz
        the APK is super huge.. a lot of unused drawables and libVLC is pretty fat
      • 2014-01-08 00821, 2014

      • Freso
        Well, libVLC also supports *a lot* of stuff.
      • 2014-01-08 00833, 2014

      • Milosz
        yeah
      • 2014-01-08 00847, 2014

      • Milosz
        it's much better than the Android native MediaPlayer
      • 2014-01-08 00856, 2014

      • Milosz
        I also compiled TagLib to run on Android
      • 2014-01-08 00859, 2014

      • Milosz
        and I'm writing a JNI layer
      • 2014-01-08 00809, 2014

      • Milosz
        the native one is severely limited

      • 2014-01-08 00858, 2014

      • Freso
        At least native Android mediaplayer supports Ogg containers and Vorbis and FLAC.
      • 2014-01-08 00804, 2014

      • Freso
        Or does in 2.2.2 anyway...

        please tell me it's not manually

        do you happen to know if there's any site from which you can -legally- obtain the url of an mp3 or something for a song?
      • 2014-01-08 00837, 2014

      • Mattx
        for example in echonest you have previews
      • 2014-01-08 00854, 2014

        Mattx: The pre-preview music is probably distributed by the label. It's likely from the same source that feeds e.g. Spotify and includes all sorts of stuff people need to go through.

        I should have included the word "free" somewhere in my question

        Mattx, I think your best bet would be Jamendo for now

        They pay royalties, sure. I'm not sure they pay the labels just to get the music.

        Mattx: for previews, I think some stores allow them, but only if you link to them and "promote them"

        the stupid company I used to work at allowed previews for free

        but I suggest staying at a fair distance from them

        Freso: labels decide whether to send their stuff to spotify IIRC. Grooveshark is the one that takes whatever
