[RDD] ISRC Codes? What do you report?

2011-08-07 Thread Bill Putney
We've used the RDLibrary ripper to rip CD's into our Rivendell. I 
started looking at reports to send to the music licensing agencies. It 
looks like most of the stuff they want is missing. I think there are a 
few ISRC codes but it seems like most CDs don't encode them. Most of the 
cuts have artist and title and that's it. There are no album titles, 
record company marketing names, catalog numbers, UPC codes and on and 
on. It sounds like if there is an ISRC code a lot f the other info isn't 
required.

Is there a way to retroactively get this info into our library or do we 
have to start from scratch?

While it won't help you retroactively without some work to integrate
it with the Rivendell database, and it's not a _perfect_ method, you
should look at the MusicBrainz database. It's online, freely
available, and contains ISRC and other data for most things. Not sure
about UPCs or catalog numbers, but it will let you identify most
albums (except where there's more than one album with the track on).

I have MB support in IRIS (https://github.com/JamesHarrison/iris), a
tool I put together a little while back to handle content ingest- I
haven't had time to finish the Rivendell importer stage, though, so it
can't yet directly insert things like ISRC data into the database
(since rdimport won't accept that as an input, making a quick and
dirty solution impossible). I think someone's experimented in the past
with integrating the MusicBrainz Picard tagger with the Rivendell
library- might be worth looking into that.

Cheers,
James Harrison

James,

Thanks for the reply. We've running for about 3 months and have about 6,000 
music carts so far. Now we've finally got some volunteer music librarians and I 
suppose at some point we'll have to put them to work reripping and adding data 
to the music database.

What have you been using for scheduler codes?

Maybe we should start a secret Rivendell library sharing club.
