Hi people, the prupose of this thread s to get peoples opinions on my idea.
i have a load ripped albums of which the ID3 (the artist, name etc) tags are incomplete. If i was to create a program whereby the user could load a file which contains the ID3 tags for the entire album. The files wuld be av ailable for download from my website, and users could upload their own aswell.
Does this sound like a good idea, nay points anyone would like to add?
Cheers for your input
This sounds like a great idea.
Cool, i thought so to, but could you see any problems, one being users uploading duff files, i guess i could have a system to report users, the blow up their machine and such.
Its already been done, how do you think winamp does it ;) And the like...
I have another idea. The internet in 3D. 3D webbrowsing is the future. :cool:
I know tha WMP, iTunes and prolley Winamp, woteva that is does the same, however they usually only work when you rip an album from a CD, i had mine in bulk from a friend, and the case is popular, whereby users have downloaded mp3's without the ID3 tags, or where they have a huge collectio and want to tag them up iwith ease and efficiency
And how exactly are you going to identify albums?
File size (varies with bitrate)? Track length (ripper)? Wave patterns (ripper again)? :)
I am sure there is a massive open source CD details archive available?
You could have a large online database with all tracks info and album info. They manually select which entry the want tagged to the track, its more like an online information base with details about the music that can easily be matched to an mp3 and batch tagged
My advice: Use WMP. If the computer's online, it automatically grabs all of the album information. If it's not online, then they can't get your program very easily, can they?
Is it just me or did someone hijack my avatar? I thought it was me talking. :lol:

He isn't talking about getting CD info. He means auto get data for mp3's. Fact is, as penegate is pointing out, is there is no reliable way to assgin the info to an mp3. Different rip apps as well as varied quality settings is gonig to change the crc checksum of the file so there is nothing to identify these files reliably.
Did you miss the thread?

Multi-Step Digital File Recognition
MusicID uses a multi-step process to identify digital music files by analyzing textual information from the file's embedded tags, file name, directory path and other related files in the user's collection allowing individual or groups of songs to be matched to albums.

Is this not basically what the CDDB stuff is all about?
SoundBlaster has been doing it for years, with CD's, but that was before mp3's were invented. Haven't tried it lately, that machine has been gathering dust :)
I loved coding in VRML :) Tis how the internet should have been :(Quote:

And like with any CDDB, you can submit corrections.
So this idea sounds like reinventing the wheel in a hard way.

What's a NoteMe?

However, since this is now 2007, any and all of your posts made prior to the crash have been devoured by HE WHO IS KNOWN AS HAWKING, there is no restoration for you, as you have lost the greater part of your soul, and now must push the boulder back up the mount, higher, higher, and yet higher some more.
Yet the boulder will slip, and you are doomed to never reach the summit.
You now are a lesser being, and should henceforth grovel.
