[slim] Re: Clean up music collection
Both Picard or the classic version have GUIs that are way out of the things user interface design guidelines would suggest, but once you found out to use them, they may be useful. It's not fully automated, thats true, but its not so much more steps. You drag all your files into it, it'll analyze them in background (give it a night for a full collection), and when its finished, you can press the save button, which again might take some time depending on size. Picard is better then through using a newer algorithm than TRM (TRMs often have a dozen matches), but even uglier to use ;) -- CCRDude CCRDude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8478 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31739 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'd probably spend much more time trying to automate this than just manually fix the tags... ;) -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I will do it for you, just send me your music collection. Bet that others will want it to. -- Lleo_ Lleo_'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3271 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31739 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

In addition, files are not always organized very well and the file names are not consistent. Anyone know if there's a script (for Linux-type system) that can go through my music directory and try and figure out album and song from id3/meta data (or perhaps by consulting a local CDDB copy and the file's name) and organize the collection into artist/album directories? Fetching album art would be nice, too. ;) I downloaded the CDDB some months back to start this project, but ran out of time. But before I start again I want to make sure there isn't already something available. Thanks, -- Bill Moseley moseley (AT) hank (DOT) org Check out www.musicbrainz.org. It uses signatures to match up your tracks and apply standardized tagging information and then rename the files with the conventions you specify. While you CAN just let it do its thing, I recommend supervising it as it's not 100% perfect. -- jeffluckett jeffluckett's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31739 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Doesn't look like Picard is what I'm after, as it's a GUI based tool and I'm looking more for a way to automate the process. Debian has tunepimp available, but that uses the old RDF Webservice. I don't really get how the tumepimp utility works. It seems like I should be able to generate TRM fingerprints for untagged files using Perl's MusicBrainz::TRM. Although, it's not entirely clear how to do that from the docs. Have to look in the morning. If I can figure out how to lookup the song in the database I can easily re-organize the collection. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
