Folks, whilst it's come through in this thread I'd just like to reiterate for clarity:
Whether or not musicdns servers remain available does not impact on your ability to perform analysis, it just means you don't benefit from someone else's prior analysis and thus have to actually do the analysis locally - which takes a lot longer than having a fingerprint match using musicdns and subsequently retrieving the analysis data from musicdns. PUIDs are a thing of the past - you won't be able to get them anymnore unless they already exist on the musicbrainz servers. Regardless, they're meaningless in any context other than metadata retrieval from musicbrainz, and even in that context, they're being replaced by AcousticID whch will serve the same purpose. The major impact for all of us wanting to continue to analyse new music is that you're no longer able to use genpuid, which is an inconvenience. If I had the know how I'd play around with returning values to genpuid to spoof the server and tell genpuid "the track(s) don't exist, you're going to have to analyse them". That'd be all that's required in order to make genpuid do the analysis locally. In the meantime you have no choice but to resort to localhosting music.predixis.com and having MusicIP Mixer do the analysis and then archiving the analysis results to file (i.e. committing the analysis to tag metadata). Pain in the ass, but nevertheless, the musicip mixer functionality we all enjoy remains unaffected, albeit getting there is now a little less convenient. Of course if someone had the nouse/ skills there'd be nothing stopping a community "musicdns" server being borne whereby fingerprints and acoustic analysis results are stored and provided where fingerprints match - again it would require having knowledge of musicdns' protocols and require remapping of music.predixis.com to the ip of the community "musicdns" server. -- audiomuze *'Linux finally gets a great audio tagger' (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/linux-finally-gets-a-great-audio-tagger.html): 'puddletag' (http://puddletag.sourceforge.net/)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ audiomuze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33613 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84338 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
