dear !lazyweb if I have several WAV files with cryptic names, is there any way to find out which album they came from?
about a year ago from web-
@arkblitz thanks, I'll have a look at that! All I can tell is that it's obviously West-African traditional music...
-
@marjoleink MusicBrainz! I think Picard or some similar software can identify a file based on audio contents.
-
@arkblitz MediaInfo installed (useful anyway) but there's nothing but technical info, no meta data at all :(
-
@clacke any more on 'some similar software'? Picard is useless on these tracks
-
@marjoleink Oh. Sorry, that's what I have. But if there is something out there in the free software realm, I'm sure it's #MusicBrainz based.
-
@marjoleink Found a service called MusicDNS, but it seems Picard is already using that.
-
@clacke and the link MusicBrainz Wiki is giving me for MusicDNS (which I just found) doesn't work :(
-
@clacke seems like the whole MusicBrainz wiki is badly out of date
-
@marjoleink Same thing, different implementation: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Jaikoz
-
@marjoleink Oh. Yeah, my limited experience with MusicBrainz is that the db is alive and well, but that software and docs are not so active.
-
@clacke well, that looks like an interesting app in its own right, and it can use a different database...
-
@clacke what beats me is that I should *have* a PUID since I have it in MusicIP mixer - just don't know how to extract that data :(
-
@clacke trial installed - I'll happily pay the license fee if it can identify these tracks which I've had for almost exactly 10 years!
-
@clacke meh - it does not even load .wav files, I'd have to convert them first. :( enough frustration for today!
-
@marjoleink Meh indeed.
