As I understand it the PUID only had relevance to enable matching of a song to musicbrainz metadata. Where the finrgerprinting side of things is concerned we should be able to use libofa to generate the fingerprint - which I'm guessing will be the same as the fingerprint already embedded in my tracks.
One way to check would be to run a few tracks (that have previously had analysis archived to tag) through libofa and then to compare the resulting fingerprint. If they're the same we're in business and what we'd proposed about a open musicdns database would work. We'd have to have a toolset for: - community db to store and host fingerprint and analysis data - trawling an existing collection and picking up the fingerprint and analysis tags for submission to the community db - calculating fingerprinting new tracks and checking against the community db - if there's a match, return the analysis tag and write it to the file or to a text file for the user to import via a tagger - analysis (genpuid and/or musicip mixer) to be used in the event there's no match in the community db. libofa seems to contain everything needed to do the fingerprint generation - see 'developer's guide' (http://code.google.com/p/musicip-libofa/downloads/detail?name=DevelopersGuide-LibOFA.pdf). -- 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
