Well ,what i think is not what i felt
And not what you may assume.
I start to understand why some are upset with yadb
Since 2 days i check all my cds to see if they are in YADB. And upload if not.-but this i will do later cause i have a large load to upload-
I did not check all the cds not in YADB with cdbb and MM ,but from experience i know i will get most of the infos
OF cause my cds are only Rock music-well let say 98% of them-
And keep in mind that the start to YADB is a FreeDB data.
And because of it YADB looks like a data feed in very large parts by people from countrys where there is a strong open souce ,anti corporate culture.
I mean Europe ,like Germany ,France and others where the State runs Linux and not micro$$$ on all state computers.
And ,to a large part 'the list' in YADB looks like a for sale second hand list from a records dealer from Europe.
If you put any very very very underground Paisley Underground or Desert Rock or Guitar Band from the 80'.
Or any very very very alternatif small french ,german ,spanish grec ect label ,you get a 99% succes rate.
The same with any bot or legal Stooges ,Flaming Groovies ,MC5, and so on.
Out of around 400 cds ,i have only 6 yes SIX not in YADB.
And 2 are one song cd promo ,2 are live bot...
Now you start to get the point : if this kind of music got a 100% succes rate,it means that others kinds get much lower %.
And yes!
original 60' and 70' psy, garage is a drama. There is nothing exept the 13th Floor Elevators.Not even Shadows of Knight or other well know bands
And concerning compilations -is this english ?,various artists i mean- out of more than 100 cds i got 5 or 6 results ,no more.
There is full label catalogues not in YADB.
And there is another problem: many new records are not in YADB.
Of cause.Labels ,artits may upload to cddb or even MM and FreeDB . But how can they upload to YADB?
Only if they know ,have MJ or MC.
And do you have access to YADB with the free version?
Around 90% of israelis bands -with english tags- are on cdbb ,but none on YADB
The Rascals out on cd are not
All the reedition of the Pretty Things are not
Last Les Clayton , all the Small Faces ,Humble Pie out one year ago are not and so on.
Of cause i will upload all of them to YADB. But it is not easy task now. Because you cannot access cdbb and YADB from MJ like before.
Means that you have to feed the cdplayer.ini folder using other jukebox-MM and RealOne.
After that you have to put again the cds in MJ-MC to upload.
Try to work with 2 players at the same time just give you a BIG mess and many 'alt+ctrl+del"
And i have a few hundreds to upload........
Beside this ,if really the cd not in any data ,a very friendly interface like in MM may help a lot to upload.
If i am right saying that data feed for a large part from Europe ,the Jazz data must be very good
Listening to a superb cd on my stereo:
Peaceful World is a wonderful blend of soul, jazz, and funk that never found an audience. Perhaps it was because the positive sentiments expressed in the lyrics were unfortunately becoming passé; perhaps it was the diversity of the two-record set itself. Despite its lack of commercial success, this was an artistic triumph for Felix Cavaliere. With a supporting cast including jazz luminaries Joe Farrell, Hubert Laws, Alice Coltrane, and Ron Carter, Cavaliere creates a musical vision of the Peaceful World conjured up by the album's title. The single, "Love Me," which barely cracked the Hot 100, is a piece of funk in a Sly Stone vein. Guitarist Buzz Feiten's "In and Out of Love" is one of those shoulda-been-a-hit-single songs. Many of the tracks, including the side-long (21:25) title track, are mellow jazz excursions. This ambitious album took the Rascals to the place Cavaliere had been headed over the course of the last couple of albums — but, sadly, the fans didn't follow. — Jim Newsom
