        ok thats impressive in picardqt its matching is much more powerful, picking up things that picard 0.7 didn't.

        hmm how do I deal with a cropped file? its suppose to be duration 3.56 but its been cropped to 1.11. I can't seem to force picard to recognise it
      • 2007-10-21 29430, 2007

      • aCiD2
        You can manually look the album up
      • 2007-10-21 29415, 2007

      • conan
        thats what i'm trying to do
      • 2007-10-21 29428, 2007

      • conan
        I put in minima inforatino into "new metadata" and click lookup
      • 2007-10-21 29435, 2007

      • aCiD2
        What's the problem with doing it?
      • 2007-10-21 29443, 2007

      • conan
        it finds a load of albims I see the album I want and select "tagger" and nothing happens

      • 2007-10-21 29428, 2007

      • aCiD2
        You're using PicardQt, or 0.7?

      • 2007-10-21 29452, 2007

      • conan
        it brings up the page when I select lookup
      • 2007-10-21 29454, 2007

      • conan
      • 2007-10-21 29456, 2007

      • conan
        thats for the track
      • 2007-10-21 29458, 2007

      • aCiD2
      • 2007-10-21 29434, 2007

      • conan
        well if I click the tagger for the track, from here
      • 2007-10-21 29435, 2007

      • conan
      • 2007-10-21 29439, 2007

      • conan
        then it seems nothing.
      • 2007-10-21 29406, 2007

      • aCiD2
        I mean open that page in your web browser
      • 2007-10-21 29419, 2007

      • aCiD2
        If it's working you should see "Nothing to see here"
      • 2007-10-21 29433, 2007

      • conan
        ok
      • 2007-10-21 29445, 2007

      • conan
        yup says nothing to see here
      • 2007-10-21 29400, 2007

      • aCiD2
        And the album still doesn't appear in PicardQt?
      • 2007-10-21 29418, 2007

      • conan
        no its got the algum
      • 2007-10-21 29421, 2007

      • conan
        I'm donig the track
      • 2007-10-21 29432, 2007

      • aCiD2
        then just drag the track into the album
      • 2007-10-21 29453, 2007

      • conan
        but actually if I click another album, it does indeed add that, but empty.
      • 2007-10-21 29456, 2007

      • warp
        conan: you can 'open' the tracklisting in picard by clicking on the little triangle in front of the album.
      • 2007-10-21 29459, 2007

      • conan
        if I drag the track, which I tried.
      • 2007-10-21 29404, 2007

      • conan
        it overwrites any info for track1
      • 2007-10-21 29413, 2007

      • aCiD2
        Hmm?
      • 2007-10-21 29430, 2007

      • conan
        hmm maybe not, maybe i have to write it.
      • 2007-10-21 29433, 2007

      • conan
        let me try
      • 2007-10-21 29436, 2007

      • conan
        that could be my mistake
      • 2007-10-21 29403, 2007

      • conan
        btw what do the different coloured lines mean in the album, the different shades of pink?
      • 2007-10-21 29423, 2007

      • conan
        ok my mistake, it needs to "save" the album to copy the tags across
      • 2007-10-21 29416, 2007

      • aCiD2
        different shades of pink indicate how much of a match was found
      • 2007-10-21 29428, 2007

      • warp
        green is the tags on the file and/or the filename match the tags in musicbrainz, red/pink means they don't match that well, to warn you to doublecheck that you're tagging the right files with the right info.
      • 2007-10-21 29440, 2007

      • conan
        ok, thanks.

        if you got a song, that you don't know what album its from. whats the best tactic? just pick one iwth the closest duration in any album?
      • 2007-10-21 29433, 2007

      • conan
        is it possible to get picard to get the cover art? in the right view of albums. I select the album but the bottom right icon says "no image available" yet I see the cover album picture in hte loopup?

        does "words" stand for lyrics or vocals?

        lyrics

        i already created a few AR but at track 3 i stopped now

        hmm its only writting out id3v1 tags, does that matter, should I include both? I see the "write id3v2 version 2.3 tags(2.4 is default)" shoudl I click this to get both tags? what does the (2.4 is default) mean? is it writting 2.3 or 2.4?
      • 2007-10-21 29425, 2007

      • Shepard
        and "music" for composed by in this case
      • 2007-10-21 29431, 2007

      • chefkoch
        because mostly performs vocal on other releases

        hi shepard :)
      • 2007-10-21 29435, 2007

      • Shepard
        conan: picard won't write id3v1 tags, by default it will onyl write id3v2.4, if you check this box it will also write id3v2.3
      • 2007-10-21 29437, 2007

      • Shepard
        hi :)
      • 2007-10-21 29459, 2007

      • chefkoch
        so i also can use the lyrics for Yasemin Kaldirim ?

      • conan
        hmm thats I thought, so I left it unchecked and looking in another tagger it its shown id3v1. although that is ticked too. is it one or the other? so basically I should leave both untagged to get id3v2.4?
      • 2007-10-21 29424, 2007

      • Shepard
        conan: and I don't know why it doesn't show the cover art there :/ about your song: if analysing it to do a fingerprint match doesn't lead to a result and you really don't know the album, well then choose the best match you can get
      • 2007-10-21 29456, 2007

      • conan
        yeah thats what I did, just chose any old album
      • 2007-10-21 29423, 2007

      • Shepard
        oh sorry, I was wrong, yeah you can also choose to write id3v1
      • 2007-10-21 29454, 2007

      • Shepard
        well, it should always
      • 2007-10-21 29457, 2007

      • Shepard
        grml
      • 2007-10-21 29413, 2007

      • conan
        hmm I unticked id3v1 and now I get no tags.
      • 2007-10-21 29414, 2007

      • Shepard
        well, it should always write id3v2.4, no matter what you select
      • 2007-10-21 29430, 2007

      • conan
        no, not getting them.
      • 2007-10-21 29436, 2007

      • conan
        unless my tag viewer can't handle them....
      • 2007-10-21 29436, 2007

      • Shepard
        but your other tagger might not be able to display them
      • 2007-10-21 29458, 2007

      • warp
        hm, i didn't think you could have id3v2.4 and id3v2.3 at the same time.
      • 2007-10-21 29405, 2007

      • conan
        ok its the tagging tool
      • 2007-10-21 29409, 2007

      • conan
        winamp can see it fine
      • 2007-10-21 29439, 2007

      • conan
        was using Mp3 tag tools v1.2, obvious a load of rubbish
      • 2007-10-21 29448, 2007

      • Shepard
        chefkoch_: yes
      • 2007-10-21 29450, 2007

      • conan
        whats a good general tagging, viewing tool?
      • 2007-10-21 29459, 2007

      • conan
        although saying that picardqt seems to do almost everything now :)
      • 2007-10-21 29408, 2007

      • conan
        but guess good too have just a plain editor.
      • 2007-10-21 29433, 2007

      • conan
        you can have id3v1 and id3v2.4 together though. is there any reason why you'd want both for modern devices?
      • 2007-10-21 29444, 2007

      • chefkoch_
        k, thx, i'll add them
      • 2007-10-21 29403, 2007

      • Shepard
        it's long ago that I looked for one but I could never find a reasonable one :) even foobar didn't display what I needed
      • 2007-10-21 29406, 2007

      • Shepard
        looking at my settings I write id3v1 for backwards compatibility and id3v2.3 instead id3v2.4 because itunes didn't understand the latter I think
      • 2007-10-21 29419, 2007

      • conan
        ok
      • 2007-10-21 29434, 2007

      • conan
        although still can't get images to work
      • 2007-10-21 29437, 2007

      • conan
        got everything else working now
      • 2007-10-21 29413, 2007

      • Shepard
        I don't know why it doesn't display the cover art there, but even when it does, picard won't write that into the file by default because of legal reasons
      • 2007-10-21 29420, 2007

      • Shepard
        but there's a plugin for doing that
      • 2007-10-21 29447, 2007

      • conan
        oh right, cool.
      • 2007-10-21 29445, 2007

      • warp
        conan: i prefer to not have id3v1 at all. i had some broken tools which preferred them over id3v2 for some reason. i guess the tools have been fixed now, but i'd still rather not have id3v1 :)
      • 2007-10-21 29412, 2007

      • conan
        ok, well picard.9 seems damn fast now.
      • 2007-10-21 29424, 2007

      • conan
        so it seems I can always change this later if I need be, no hassle.
      • 2007-10-21 29408, 2007

      • MClemo
        and id3v1 sucks, 30 characters maximum for each field
      • 2007-10-21 29409, 2007

        Hmm, the MBServer db schema has evolved since the last server release I assume?

        yes

      • conan
        ok found the plugin for cover art, giving that a try. what about lyrics :)
      • 2007-10-21 29437, 2007

      • chefkoch_
        for example Alexander Gerlach performs as lexy and it was credited to Alexander Gerlach
      • 2007-10-21 29426, 2007

      • Shepard
        conan: MB doesn't have any links to lyrics in the db, I think this would be a big legal problem
      • 2007-10-21 29404, 2007

      • conan
        yeah it seems many labels are coming down on sites that show lyrics.
      • 2007-10-21 29411, 2007

      • conan
        which is dumd really
      • 2007-10-21 29411, 2007

      • Shepard
        chefkoch_: yeah, create a new artist for the performance name
      • 2007-10-21 29428, 2007

        already done :)
