Album gain should recognise compilation tag

[alidaf]

Using 'album artist' tag to specify 'various artists' is not supported by some platforms, e.g. Logitech Media Server, which prefers a 'compilation' tag, as per iTunes. The 'album artist' is typically used for grouping tracks in an album that has been released by a solo artist that includes tracks from a band that they were also in.

[DarwinAwardWinner]

I assume you're referring to the 'compilation' tag described here? If so, it sounds like the solution should be: if a compilation tag is present AND nonzero, use that instead of the artist or album artist for grouping the tracks. However, it seems like this shouldn't make a difference most of the time, unless you are setting the compilation tag to 1 for an album and also setting the album artist tag to a different value for each song, which doesn't make sense to me.

Can you give an example of your tagging scheme that causes LMS and rganalysis to disagree on what an album is?

Hi Ryan

That looks about right. I set up my FLAC files according to these:

http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Various_Artists_logic http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Compilations

To be honest I still found it a little confusing but after some empirical observations I settled on the following, which seems to work:

I set Album Artist tags on albums where, for example, the album has been released as a solo artist but the artists has included tracks by a band that they were in, e.g.

David Sylvian, 'A Victim of Stars'

The 'Album Artist' is 'David Sylvian' but the album includes collaborations with 'Ryuichi Sakamoto' and tracks from 'Nine Horses' and 'Rain Tree Crow'.

Another example is 'Bryan Ferry', 'More Than This', which has tracks from 'Bryan Ferry' and 'Roxy Music'.

I also use it for tribute albums, e.g.

'Random', which has the 'Album Artist' as 'Gary Numan', but the individual tracks are by the cover artists.

Or for musicals e.g.

'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'.

Here, the 'Album Artist' is 'The Cast of the Rocky Horror Picture Show' and each song has the specific artists for the track, separated by the \ delimiter. This allows multiple 'Artist' definitions rather than having an artist as, e.g. 'Tim Curry & Richard 'o Brian'.

As far as I can tell, the latter type (musicals) are the only time that I set both the Album Artist and Compilation Tags. For me, the Compilation tag is a way of avoiding listing a myriad of individual artists under 'Artist' sorted lists, when they only appear on compilation albums.

Confused yet?

The compilation flag is always set for 'Various Artist' albums like '12" 80s Alternative'.

I never set the 'Album Artist' to 'Various Artists' anymore. I used to but LMS (Logitech Media Server) seemed to get really confused by it. Having a 'Compilation' tag seems more elegant.

FLAC and M4A seem to have different tag labels and the whole system is an unnecessary mess, especially when you add MusicBrainz into the mix! Everyone has their own idea when there are no specific standards for the format. It's a nightmare for an obsessive like me.

I hope this helps.

Ok, so for those example albums/compilations that you gave, can you explain what you're expecting from rganalysis, and how its behavior differs from your expectation?

[alidaf]

On my compilation albums it would skip the calculation of album gain. My guess is that this is because I do not have 'Various Artists' specified in the 'Album Artist' tag.

I'm going through the tags again and it also looks like multiple disc compilations don't have any RG tags at all but single disc compilations have track gain only.

Weird!

I have noticed some other inconsistencies with my FLAC files as well though. Instead of 'Compilation', my m4a tracks have 'PartofaCompilation' tags. Also 'Discnumber' instead of 'Disc'. Ugh, what a mess! I couldn't find anything that would run ffmpeg recursively in Linux so I used XLD on OSX. Soundconverter does the job but it doesn't use the fdk_aac library.

There's nothing special about "Various Artists". As long as all the songs in an album have the same album artist tag, then they should be treated as an album. Unless they differ on another relevant tag. Here are the 5 values that rganalysis looks for: https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/rganalysis/blob/master/rganalysis/__init__.py#L68-L78 The last one is just the file type. The first 4 are all a set of one or more tags, and it takes the first one of each set that it finds. So for example, "albumartistsort" takes precedence over "albumartist". You can check if your music files have different values for any of those tags. You should also pay attention to the output of the script when you run it on one of the affected albums. It should tell you exactly how many "albums" it found.

[alidaf]

I've found some albums that didn't have RG tags filled and ran rganalysis again. I get this:

Skipping this track set. The exception was:

This is just a straightforward artist album, no compilation.

I don't think it likes certain characters in the file name, such as '&' and '[' or ']'.

Some more observations...

Where there is a filename that contains a '&' character, the analysis for that track fails with an error and the track gain tag is not written. For compilation albums the album gain tag isn't written for any of the tracks either. For single artist albums, no track gain or album gain track is written for any of the tracks even if only one has a '&' character. This only seems to affect m4a tracks and not flac tracks for some reason.

The latter is why I thought that square braces caused a problem. In actual fact only those files with square braces and a '&' failed. I use square braces to identify a specific track mix and have some albums that contain only alternative mixes, so every track has square braces in the filename.

Are you using the bs1770gain backend? Do you have version 0.4.10 or higher? That version fixed the problem of not escaping characters in file names in the XML output: http://bs1770gain.sourceforge.net/#hist

I just tested a file name with both "&" and "[" in it and it worked fine for me.

[alidaf]

I had 4.9, which is the latest on Debian. I installed the Ubuntu 4.12 version and it is currently running and appears to be working. Sweeeeeet!

Many thanks

Does that solve the issue, then?

[alidaf]

No, album tags are still not set when the compilation tag is set but there is no album artist defined.

I just got a bit off track with the & issue!

Ok, can you try installing the test version with pip install -U https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/rganalysis/archive/compilation-support.zip? Then tell me if that does what you're expecting.

Well, install the new version however you installed it originally. You probably tried to install it using Python 2.

Still no album tags for single or multi-disc sets.

It looks like you only ran it on a single file. The script only calculates album gain if an album contains multiple tracks. Otherwise there's no point.

[alidaf]

I ran it on the folder but only gave the output for the first track.

Ok, you should either show the full output or clearly indicate where parts have been elided. In any case, I don't know how one would set the compilation tag on an MP4 file, and I'm pretty sure the module that rganalysis uses to read tags doesn't know how to do so either, so that's probably the reason it's not being treated as a compilation. How are you adding this tag to MP4 files?

[alidaf]

The full output for a run on a multi-disc set and a single disc album is below:

I set tags using Puddletag. There are a few labels available:

compilation (set to 1) partofcompilation (set to yes) itunescompilationflag (not tried)

I've tried the first 2 but the result is the same.

I normally use the 1st, which is definitely recognised by Logitech Media Server.

Python Audio Tools has a compilation metadata object:

MetaData.compilation Whether this track is part of a compilation, as a boolean.

Ok, I've just pushed a change that should allow rganalysis to recognize compilation tags in MP4 files, assuming they are actually stored in the "cpil" tag as described here: http://atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/mpeg-4files.html

Please update to the latest version on that branch and try it out.

[alidaf]

Sorry, I've got Openreach working on the line so my broadband keeps dropping.

I've just tried using pip to install it but I'm getting python3: can't open file 'pip': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

It worked for the last update so I don't know what's happened in the meantime.

I managed to install it but still no joy.

cpil is iTunes specific. I've found another resource on tags here...

https://picard.musicbrainz.org/docs/mappings/

As a workaround for now I've set the Album Artist tag to Various, run rganalysis and then deleted the album artist tag but for multi-disc sets, each disc is treated like a separate album.

This is obviously outside your original scope for this app and I appreciate your efforts but I don't want to force you to make changes or add features if I'm the only one that's going to use them.

Regards

Darren

Treating each disc as a separate album is intentional. My thinking is that the purpose of album gain is to avoid noticeable volume changes between songs when the songs are meant to have gapless transitions between them. Since there can't be a gapless transition between discs, it doesn't make sense to compute the album gain value across multiple discs. However, I can certainly see the argument for the opposite, so I wouldn't be against adding an option to treat multi-disc albums as a single group for computing album gain.

As for the compilation issue, that link you provided also indicates that "cpil" is the de facto tag to use for compilation in MP4 files. I'll note that Mp3Tag also uses this tag if you set the "compilation" tag on an MP4 file. Using Puddletag, it seems that it maps the MP4 "cpil" tag to "partofcompilation", while adding a "compilation" or "itunescompilationflag" tag just adds a freeform tag with that name. So, I don't know which of these tags LMS actually uses to determine the compilation status, but if you don't mind setting the "partofcompilation" tag on your MP4 files, rganalysis should work for you.

[alidaf]

Using partofcompilation has worked. I don't know if it is supported in Logitech Media Server but these files are for a portable device and stored out of that library anyway.

As long as the replay gain tags are recognised in the phone app I will be happy. Xperia Music doesn't even have the option of sorting by album artist yet!

Many thanks.

I would like to hear from you if you do implement an option for treating multi-disc sets as a single album but you've addressed the original issues so I'm very grateful.

Ok, I've implemented a new command-line option --key-pieces, which lets you customize which criteria are used to group tracks. If you just omit 'discnumber' from this option, multi-disc albums will be normalized together as a unit. Note that you might also need to omit 'directory' as well if each disc is in a separate folder.

Just install from the same branch as before and you should get the new feature. If it works for you, I'll merge it into the master branch.

[DarwinAwardWinner]

For the record, you probably want: --key-pieces album,albumid,artist,filetype.

[alidaf]

That works except I have to turn off low memory mode, which means I can only run it one album or artist at a time. It may not even run with some artists as I have substantial collections for some, e.g. Tangerine Dream. I don't have too many multi-disc sets so I can just run it for each of those separately.

It seems Peter Belkner has a beta version of bs1770gain that can write tags natively rather than into a new mkv container. I don't know if that would be any benefit to you but thought I'd let you know.

[DarwinAwardWinner]

Low-memory mode works one directory at a time, so you can't use it unless --key-pieces includes directory. You could do this if you make sure that each multi-disc album has all the songs from all the discs in the same folder as each other, rather than one folder per disc (which is how I generally organize things).

[DarwinAwardWinner]

Also, just to note, the program shouldn't require too much memory unless you have a LOT of music. It only needs to load the tags of all the music files in your library into memory so that it can group them into albums.

[DarwinAwardWinner]

So, does the compilation-support branch of rganalysis work the way you expect it to now? Should I close this issue?

[DarwinAwardWinner]

Since there has been no reply for some time, I'm going to close this issue. Please reopen if if you are still interested.
