mp3tag's allmusic.com implementation
Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2006 2:09 am
First, id like to say that i think this program is awesome. i was looking for a program to rename my music files in a batch ( that was my idea of organizing my music :p ) when i found MM. ive seen that there is so much more that i can do, and ive been using MM for a few weeks now, and loving it.
like many users, i found www.allmusic.com , and i wanted a way to get information from them in batch. i found Mp3tag, http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ , and found that they had scripts to get song information from a number of sites, http://www.anytag.de/forums/index.php?showtopic=1794 . and i found a AMG script that loads:
Artist, Album, Genre, Titles, Year, Styles, Mood, Composer, Publisher, Album rating, Cover, http://www.anytag.de/forums/index.php?showtopic=2879 .
Ive looked through the forums, and seen that a number of people have asked about this. the reasons for it not being present are licensing and complexity. i just wanted to let you guys know that they get it to work and dont have legal issues with it, even though they do not allow a script for gracenote because of its eula, http://www.anytag.de/forums/index.php?showtopic=3282 . And ive looked at the script, and it dosent seem to bad, so i figured id just let you guys know about it in case someone wants to try to implement it in MM.
and if someone does, please note that i have found a few albums that the script to get info errors out on. a couple examples are (have ot cut and paste the two lines together):
