Populating the fields in Jaikoz went fine using Update Metadata… .
However I needed song only matches because the were not from a particular album
but received an album match so most of the songs/artist were incorrect. When I looked at Muscibrainz (MB) at the bottom of the Jaikoz window, all the songs had the sane MB release Id and Label (ie Record Company).
The questions are How to Update or redo the MB information (It seems to be done just once)
and How to get song only MB match as opposed to an Album/Song match info when we retrieve MB fingerprints.
How to Update or redo the MB information (It seems to be done just once)
Hi, I’m not quite following what you have done please run Create Support Files again so I can check it.
Ok logs not telling me much.
But it only matches song to an album if al songs in grouping could be matched to album otherwise it does song only. So are you saying it has matched the group to an album but it is the wrong album, what is the album and how many songs were matched to it ?
If you want to rematch use Action:Remote Correct from Metadata from MusicBrainz but you need to uncheck the Preferences:MusicBrainz:AutoForma:Do not match online if already have a MusicBrainz Recording Id option.
Sorry to confuse you. Could you indicate the steps to be used to identify random songs in a folder Ie it would be like a folder with songs from singles. Are there any changes to be made in the preferences. Do I need to remove any entries such as “Unknown Album” from the View Panel
I settled on Retrieve AcoustID using AcoustID Server; followed by Update Metadata From MB Id or Release ID and got the following: see screen shot
Except for the first song the data are incorrect, It also says the album is “The Power Of Love”
Okay so Retrieve AcoustID creates Acoustic Fingerprints and then if it is a known fingerprint retrieves the AcoustId, if not known to Acoustid it generates a new Acoustid, but that is all it does, it doesnt match to MusicBrainz. It just pregenerates the acoustids so they can then be used by AutoCorrect Metadata from MusicBrainz as one way to identify your music.
Update Metadata from MusicBrainz uses the existing ids from previously matched songs to update the metadata with the matching album from MusicBrainz, for example the release on MusicBrainz may have added addional info added since originally matched.
So neither of these tasks match your songs to MusicBrainz, they were already matched incorrectly to Power of Love album, I have no idea if this was done by Jaikoz or some other MusicBrainz enabled tagger?
To ignore existing match and rematch to MusicBrainz you need to uncheck the Preferences:MusicBrainz:AutoForma:Do not match online if already have a MusicBrainz Recording Id option and then try AutoCorrect Metadata from MusicBrainz
