        Hi there! I found a CD in my cupboard recently which seems to have never been properly indexed or databased, I searched on musicbrainz and freedb and found nothing, also the CDs don't come up with any info when scanning with common ripping software that autocomplete tags from such services.
      • 2019-01-04 00419, 2019

      • aphirst
        It's all in chinese but I was able to get the track names via OCR and manual correction (using some Hanzi radical dictionaries), but wasn't able to discern any artist names, nor be 100% sure of what the "proper" album name should be
      • 2019-01-04 00446, 2019

      • aphirst
        I made full scans of the case and booklet, and was advised that if I ask here, someone might be able to go through it and make a proper musicbrainz submission

      • 2019-01-04 00403, 2019

      • aphirst
        Hmm. Is there a way to generate a CUE /with metadata/ from my folder of FLACs? I tried using shntool with no joy...

        hi aphirst. I just did a little bit of browsing through Chinese artists in MB. One currently active editor working on them is https://musicbrainz.org/user/silentbird
      • 2019-01-04 00413, 2019

      • CallerNo6
        Maybe try DMing that editor (or I'm sure there are others).
      • 2019-01-04 00425, 2019

      • aphirst
        I'll make an account then.

        aphirst, what OS? exfalso has a couple plugins for exporting tags. (not an endorsement, I haven't tried it)
      • 2019-01-04 00428, 2019

      • aphirst
        linux, and i do vaguely recall exfalso, wasnt that a companion application to quodlibet?
      • 2019-01-04 00405, 2019

      • Yaniel
        a rough solution would bbe ffprobe + sed

        i used it on my local opus copy but the metadata is identical to my flacs
      • 2019-01-04 00422, 2019

      • aphirst
        the year is a pure guess based on some similar albums and roughly when i bought the CD
      • 2019-01-04 00452, 2019

      • aphirst
        if the album art mentions a year anywhere it isn't in arabic numerals
      • 2019-01-04 00406, 2019

      • aphirst
        i put a decent amount of effort into making sure the tags were the same symbols as on the artwork, especially when it was a variant character
      • 2019-01-04 00416, 2019

      • aphirst
        and i used chinese punctuation instead of latin
      • 2019-01-04 00436, 2019

      • aphirst
        ⻣ was particularly problematic

        mp3 320 is barely smaller than flac but barely any better sounding than v0
      • 2019-01-04 00459, 2019

      • darwin
        yep, but for example DJs end up using it anyway because the world of consumer DJ technology supports MP3 and does not support FLAC
      • 2019-01-04 00432, 2019

      • aphirst
        that's really dumb
      • 2019-01-04 00434, 2019

      • darwin
        even though new equipment does in fact support FLAC, one can't assume that one will be playing on that equipment, and so one still has to use MP3
