Request: Post processing - tag handling options #192

Open sbuser opened 13 years ago

sbuser commented 13 years ago

It would be nice to have the option to set certain tags to default settings during post-processing. The ability to clear/set comments, ratings, and art (which is typically subpar) would be particularly useful .

Long term it would be nice to be able to add metadata automatically from other sources with post-processing modules we could enable/disable - I'm thinking here of things like the mood/theme/etc information from places like AMG, Last.fm, etc.

Yeah, more advanced tagging options are coming - what it does now is like, basic cleanup

I think jaikoz uses discogs to get genres but i'll have to look into all that. i think allmusic is the best site for info, but musicbrainz is open which is why i used it

Oh I love that it uses musicbrainz for the key metadata - mostly because that's what last.fm uses so it allows for some very nice integration in things like mediamonkey - the ability to automatically get similar tracks and have a non-stop pandora-like setup that is also getting missing album is already up and running. All because you use musicbrainz.

I just mean in addition to the musicbrainz tagging it would be nice to be able to add additional metadata from other sources. Please stick with MB for the main tagging stuff!

That said - I've written an AMG scraper that pulls the metadata into mediamonkey - but I don't think you want to mess with releasing things like that as it's almost certainly illegal. The best thing would be some kind of plugin system. Then users could be responsible for what they do.

That's all down the road - what is most important to me right now in terms of tagging is the ability to clear comments, clear ratings, and clear art on newly downloaded albums. Maybe I'll add those options and you can take a look. It would just save me a large number of clicks per album.

What I want to be able to grab from other sites for sure is new releases. They don't show up in MB til maybe the week of release which kind of defeats the purpose of the app. I don't really know how to handle this since basically everything is linked to a mbid, maybe a separate table that would hold the new releases, and when updating te artists, it would delete from the table all entries matching that artist and album

Is it a rule that they don't show up? Or just happenstance?

Sounds like someone should write some spiders... watch AMG and Amazon for the information, compare, if they agree, submit to MB automatically. Probably not what you had in mind.

I really like the MB linkage and don't know how you'd go about basing it off another metdata provider.

If you do try to do something based off of AMG just realize that if they find out they will come after you. Mediamonkey had a problem awhile back when they released scripts that did similar things with AMG data.
