this song was not found by songkong (no titles no cover).
it`s a song by curtis harding (i wont let you down).
but songkong found the song before, when i first put it in the “music” app.
SongKong it not designed for matching one song at a time, there may be an issue with SongKong here but it is not top priority because you are not using it in a way it is designed to be used, do you get a match if you use Jaikoz instead ?
ah, ok. good to know, but i still believe i can use songkong and jaikoz for my advantage, because in the end it finds most of the songs and some of the artworks.
i did not try to match the last song with jaikoz, but i‘ll do this evening.
songkong identifies the songs and even if i play a song it shows the thumbnail artwork next to it, but if i go on „information“ the artwork is missing.
sometimes jaikoz puts the artwork to the „music“ app, but haven‘t found a reason why and sometimes not.
If you would like me to resolve it yo need to give me one issue and then some evidence, currently I have
these are very different issues I think I have explained the first issue, but for second issue I need a status report showing the songs that have artwork in SongKong but then another screenshot to show the situation for the same songs in Music app so I can see the discrepancy.
hello!
i think mainly it is “artwork added to songkonk but only visible as thumbnail in music”.
i will send you an report and a screenshot about this theme right away.
thanks for caring again,
philipp
Okay thanks I can see in SongKong report there is artwork could you send me the file (using email or dropbox)
sure. what file exactly do you mean?
I meant the audio file - /Users/creasy/Music/iTunes/Music/Unknown Artist/before the piece of surf - test/16- Audiospur.aiff
But actually just realized (because I was looking at your report in German and misunderstood what I was looking at) that you are not renaming the files into artist/album folders. I think that may be the issue, could you try rerunning against that folder with Rename Filesnames based on Metadata set to Yes for all files and see if that resolves it.
we got it!!
cover artwork and songs were recognized now. i changed two settings. the one you want me to change and one setting in "format" which says "let there be changes in meta data even if its just the song that accords".
thanks for everything. now i save a lot of time with your app,
philipp
we don`t got it.
in the new version of songkong 8.2 M1 version, the same problem appears again.
songkong recognizes the songs (most of them) and the thumbnail of the cover artwork appears when i play it, but it is not showing up in “information” of the song and it is not synced to the music app.
Is your Mac one with the new M1 chip ?
yes! i use the new macbook pro 16,2 inch
There may an issue with the new SongKong M1 build and the integration with Apple Music.
Could you:
There seems to be problems with both MacOS with M1 chip and MacOS version 11 and later, I am looking at this now.
so thank you for caring about this problem.
i can uninstall songkong and install tge intel version later today snd tell you whether it‘s working better (if still needed)….otherwise i‘ll wait snd see if you can solve the problem.
philipp
No there is no point in doing that now, please will just have to wait for 8.2.1, in meantime if files are already in Apple Music app try selecting them and then Refresh.
Hi, fixed in SongKong 8.3
hello songkong team!
i still do music mixes on cd. different artists and different album songs on one cd.
songkong does a pretty good work on identyfying all songs (after i rip them in a playlist in “music” on macos).
but what i still miss is that songkong also puts the artwork in the right place in “music”.
i always have empty fields in “right click” / “informations” / “cover”.
the small thumbnails in a playback are correct, but the covers are missing in the place “cover”.
do you have an idea how to put the covers automatically in the right place in macos music?
thanks in advance, philipp
I’m not entirely sure what you mean, can you post a couple of screenshots to demonstrate the problem please.
hello!
sorry for the delay, but i had to make a new mix to do some descriptive screenshots…
here`s what i do…thanks a lot in advance for your time!!!
that is what it looks like after using songkong…i have to fill up some empty spaces, but that`s fine…but i miss the cover artwork in “music”.
