Hello, sorry for late answer. There's been few issues related to this, however: OneTagger is highly parallelized and works on per track basis = many tracks are tagged at once. So there is no info shared between them, stuff like matching album first would significantly slow down the process. There were some plans for the future, but it does require a huge rework and many changes. So I probably won't be handling this now, however you can use Manual Tag so you don't have to specify the IDs manually.
I hope you can understand this. Thanks
Hey, no problem and thanks for getting back at me. Well I guess I was just hoping that you would understand the problem I have, which I feel like you do and I completely understand that you can not implement this right now.
I can not speak for your other users, but I would love an option to prefer exactness over speed at some point in the future.
I would also appreciate a workflow option where I can stay in the tagger, edit some tags and re-attempt auto tagging without going back to auto tag, change the directory ...
Last but not least, I am not sure what you meant by saying: "however you can use Manual Tag so you don't have to specify the IDs manually."
In the current development builds (you can get them from the Actions tab on Github) there is an option for Manually Tag when you right click on a track in QuickTag, or there is a button in Tag Edit. With this you can "auto tag" individual tracks rather than whole folders.
So I have an album on beatport. 1T finds the tracks on that album, but for one song it will consistently pick another release. This ripped apart (putting them into different folders when auto renaming) quite a lot of albums I had. I tried deleting all tags and just adding album, title and artist, but 1T seems to disregard the album and just match the other release again. Since 1T finds the album I wonder, whether it is possible to "pin" the album to a subfolder in which 1T is currently autotagging files.
My workaround is to enable "Track or Release ID tag as input to get exact match" and then providing the ID that I can get from the url when opening the song on beatport.
What does not work is to provide the BEATPORT_RELEASE_ID, only the BEATPORT_TRACK_ID works for this workaround.
Example:
Album 93 Million Miles by African Hitech
1T will tag the third song "Out In The Streets" to a different album, even if the song is tagged with the BEATPORT_RELEASE_ID 367822 before tagging.
This makes the workaround harder, because now you have to find all the track ids instead of one release id.
