I can't help thinking the steps I take to get new music from a CD into
slimserver seem a bit long-winded. I'd be most grateful if anyone can
tell me how I can simplify the process. Here's what I do:
- Rip CD with EAC (using freedb/MusicBrainz gateway) to FLAC
- Run MusicBrainz Picard to set MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME etc...
- Run mp3tag action to copy MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME to ARTISTSORT
- Use Google Image search to get album cover & save as folder.jpg
- Move album folder from "working" area to "library" area
- Scan for new music (or await overnight scan) in SlimServer
A you can tell, I'm keen to have ARTISTSORT set (I like to see artists
sorted by surname). I could remove one of the steps if Slimserver
recognised MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME. Are there any plans to do this? Is it
worth logging a development request?
FLAC.pm refers to MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME, but I don't quite understand
how it is using it, and only a lowercase version of the tag seems to be
associated with ARTISTSORT. I'd be grateful if anyone can explain what
is happening here:
Code:
--------------------
my %tagMapping = (
'TRACKNUMBER' => 'TRACKNUM',
'DISCNUMBER' => 'DISC',
'URL' => 'URLTAG',
'musicbrainz_sortname' => 'ARTISTSORT',
'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMARTISTID' => 'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMARTIST_ID',
'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID' => 'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUM_ID',
'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMSTATUS' => 'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUM_STATUS',
'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMTYPE' => 'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUM_TYPE',
'MUSICBRAINZ_ARTISTID' => 'MUSICBRAINZ_ARTIST_ID',
'MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME' => 'MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME',
'MUSICBRAINZ_TRACKID' => 'MUSICBRAINZ_ID',
'MUSICBRAINZ_TRMID' => 'MUSICBRAINZ_TRM_ID',
--------------------
I do my ripping on Windows XP, but SS (now 6.5.4) runs on a Linux
(Fedora FC5) box.
Any thoughts on reducing any of these steps gratefully received.
Thanks in advance for any help!
