T.Rex is a performance name for Marc Bolan. Marc Bolan composes several tracks. T.Rex plays them, later, for a soundtrack. Soundtrack style would normally go with composer, unless it's a previously released track, as these are. But when the composer and the performer are two names for the same person, would that still hold true?

Hm, I need a tag editor that can extract cover art from mp3s, and it should do it on a large amount of mp3, suggestions?
2007-07-18 19946, 2007
luks would do it with 5 or so lines of python code...

Hi! I'm a little confused about this Picard proggie - does it or does it not calculate puid's?
2007-07-18 19953, 2007
Kerensky97
It calculates a fingerprint to match to the MusicIP PUIDs to be most accurate.
2007-07-18 19906, 2007
naugas
Ok, thanks! What is it it sends to musicbrainz then? Nearest match to an existing puid?
2007-07-18 19956, 2007
luks
puid<->trackid matches
2007-07-18 19915, 2007
naugas
just statistics?
2007-07-18 19933, 2007
luks
no, those are used for PUID lookups
2007-07-18 19947, 2007
luks
PUID on it's own doesn't tell you anything about the track
2007-07-18 19945, 2007
Kerensky97
If the Picard fingerprint matches a MusicIP PUID and you choose "save PUIDs" it will send the info to Musicbrainz that that MusicIP PUID belongs to that track.
So does MusicDNS have a map of fingerprints to PUIDs, or are they generated every time?
2007-07-18 19949, 2007
luks
they have a database of PUIDs
2007-07-18 19909, 2007
luks
probably not mapped directly to fingerprints, but to their more complete music analysis
2007-07-18 19905, 2007
aCiD2
Right, makes sense
2007-07-18 19912, 2007
luks
the difference between TRMs is that the server adds new TRMs based on fingerprint lookups if it's not already in the database
2007-07-18 19929, 2007
luks
with MusicDNS you need to use special MusicIP tools for that, lookups are read-only
2007-07-18 19928, 2007
aCiD2
So when I do the acoustic analysis in Picard and it finds a match, it only does that because someone has ran the track through genpuid/the mixer before hand?
2007-07-18 19942, 2007
luks
yes
2007-07-18 19954, 2007

Neat, that service is more popular than I thought then

I've sometimes wondered about that, when the system finds a PUID for every track in an album except the biggest hit.

luks: In that case, I have a question... with the fingerprinting I read somewhere than it has to be at least 30 seconds, is this correct?
2007-07-18 19901, 2007

that's for TRM

Cause I was going to have a play around one day at a projcet where you give it a DJ mix, and it would attempt to look up the tracks (then I thought it probably won't work, because the tracks are pitched up)
2007-07-18 19903, 2007
luks
aCiD2: musicdns is not really a good tool for that
2007-07-18 19932, 2007
luks
it's oriented on files, not "streams"

I had two tracks, on that was 4 minutes, one that was 8. The 8 minute tracks was the exact same for the first 4 minutes, it just added more stuff to the end. The system thought they were the same.
2007-07-18 19934, 2007
luks
Kerensky97: I'd expect that to be an user error
2007-07-18 19944, 2007
luks
somebody submitted the same PUID to both tracks
2007-07-18 19956, 2007
Kerensky97
not the picard system, MusicIP.
2007-07-18 19957, 2007
luks
musicdns uses track duration to differentiate between puids
