Humble Request Problem: I have an extremely large music library, and manage a couple music libraries for local community (read: poor as poo poo) radio stations. These files are tagged pretty well but there is one feature that I and others have been craving. Bandcamp artist/album pages have a very handy piece of info that isn't normally in other databases (discogs, musicbrainz, etc.) and that is the bands home town. Bandcamp also does not put this tag in their files when you buy music from them. Description and requirements: I'd love a tool that can read Artist data from music files, scrape Bandcamps site for this piece of data, and put it in either an ID3 or Vorbis tag (depending on file format). The text needed is contained in code:FlyingCheese fucked around with this message at 12:11 on Nov 4, 2018 |

Chunjee posted:Are the bandcamp urls documented anywhere in the file metadata or elsewhere? I have programmatically updated ID3 tags before so this would be cake if I can get a dependable source for the data. Some files have the url in the comment tag "Visit _____" but others do not. I was hoping the app would just do an Artist search, or better yet, look for the url in the comment tag first and then fall back on searching. nielsm posted:Writing it as a foobar2000 plugin would simplify the entire reading and writing music file metadata, letting you focus on just the look-up part. It sounds like the best approach to take. That does sound like good news!

Feral Integral posted:Doesn't look too hard to scrape, do you mind posting some example artists that have the comment url thing in the tags? Also if any of them have songs that are free to download that would be cool so I could test with them Yeah sure, here's a few free examples. https://barochandel.bandcamp.com/album/baro-bokhalo https://thisisnotwarszawa.bandcamp.com/album/i-p-s https://greynbownes.bandcamp.com/releases Would using the search function fix that issue? And as far as tags, it doesn't matter much what tag it uses, as I can remap them in Foobar2000 if necessary. I would imagine User Defined would be a good one to use. I will say that most of this music is stored as FLAC so it needs to work with vorbis tags too. Thanks for looking into this.
