Sucks for me, I do have a static address.

Doof · « **Reply #51 on:** October 03, 2004, 05:57:35 pm »

If you don't ask it to tag your entire library all at once, you'll probably be ok. I was lucky and had aTagger go through my whole library before AMG started doing this. Now I just run it once everytime I rip a CD, so the demand is much lower. I haven't run into any problems at all. Once the few bugs are worked out and it's handling the image file thing, I'll be golden.

Actually, there is one thing I wish it would do, and that's better date handling. Currently it'll only handle the year, even if the entire date is present.

I can't seem to get atagger to work for me. I must be doin something wrong, I have added the library fields

Chris, aTagger will only process songs that have both an Artist & Album. Songs that do not have an Album are skipped.

I suppose that aTagger could be updated to process the Artist fields: AKA/Members, Born/Formed, Died/Disbanded, Genres, Styles, Tones, Bio, and Albums's and ignore the Album fields: Artist, Album, Year, Genre, Image, Rating, Styles, Tones, Type, Review, Songs, Credits, and Parental Advisory.

what about making the start and stop buttons separate?

several times now i've been hammering 'stop' waiting for my pc to stop thinking and i have managed to stop and then restart the process - making me go though it again!

Argh! So true! The best way I've found to stop atagger has been CTRL + ALT + DEL lol. Separating those two functions would help greatly!

Alan,
Thankyou for replying to my confusion, I guess it was counter productive to remove my previous tags, Atagger really is a terrific plugin though. Your hard work is appreciated

Have you tried going to the source web site in a web browser?

LonWar · « **Reply #61 on:** October 13, 2004, 02:10:46 pm »

The site is ok, I just tried again and I am getting the following error:

*ERROR*: Unable to find Artist & Album.

I am looking for Artist's like Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, etc... Nothing obscure.

gbdesai · « **Reply #62 on:** October 13, 2004, 04:43:48 pm »

I get that with some straightforward albums like:

Dexter Freebish - A Life of Saturdays
Heart - These Dreams: Heart's Greatest Hits
Nhanda Devi - Chants From Isis

and several others, I've had this problem since the re-release of aTagger came out.

Your problem with Motley Crue may be as a result of having to include the accented characters above the "o" and the "u".

@l@n is there a HTTP post form or get string that we can use to test for a hit in a browser? Right now I have to use the standard search bar to input a artist or album title and see what makes a successful hit. It would be useful to be able to test it directly outside of aTagger for debugging of funny names.

In fact, in the future, making the search string configurable would be cool, so we don't have to bother you to tweak search routines.

I'm sorry but I don't know how to help you with this one. I occaisionally get a simular error but when I retry aTagger it works just fine. It happens to me so infrequently that I've no way to investigate/debug the problem.

Maybe someone with more overall plug-in knowledge can help us figure this one out.

Quisp · « **Reply #67 on:** October 17, 2004, 11:44:31 am »

aTagger is adding the date field to the title which is causing errors finding the album. For instance:

Artist / [Date] Album / Song

If there is no date, date is Artist /

Album / Song

gbdesai · « **Reply #68 on:** October 18, 2004, 04:46:14 pm »

I'm not home to test, but are you saying you should add a junk date where none exists to make it work, or to remove any pre-existing date before using aTagger? I can't recall which one seemed to work better on the hundreds of songs that were found correctly.

Quisp · « **Reply #69 on:** October 18, 2004, 07:11:30 pm »

I tried removing the date, but it still shows up as a zero value which messes up the Album title, so nothing is found. I think that aTagger should just not include the date in the Album title. I'm assuming this is a bug?

runemail · « **Reply #71 on:** October 30, 2004, 06:54:03 pm »

aTagger can't find things like "the smiths" because it searches AMG for "the+smiths".

aTagger finds less than 50% of albums i have tested.

Great plug-in, but needs more tuning. could win the "best auto-tagger" award 2004!

--@l@n

Just noting that there are a number of "problems" with searching on artist and album together...

1 In my perfect world, I do not care when a song was released on a greatest hits collection, but that may be the only version of the track I have. When I am performing tag surgery manually, I overwrite the greatest hits info with the _real_ album info (the first time the track appeared on an album). But that can open a can of worms (how many live versions of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here are there anyway?).

2 I have a number of tracks that somehow had the album info rewritten (dare I mention Real Jukebox of many years ago) as "Unknown" and that is rendering searches useless. If it is not too troublesome, I would guess that searching on an artist and a track title would be enough data to warrant overwriting the album info; this is what interactive mode is for, right?

3 A few friends have tracks from the old days where there was no tag info so the artist and track name were the only things folded from the filename into the tags. It sure would be nice to be able to search for additional tag information without having to know the album (if I am going to amazon.co.uk or AMG for album info, I might as well get the whole bunch and update the tags manually).

4 This plugin is shaping up and will soon be saving me scads of wasted fingertip skin cells; THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS @L@N ! ! !

Haven't tried it, but I just realized that a public proxy solution like Bypass (http://www.bypass.cc/download/index.html) should permit the Allmusic incoming IP address to be randomized or changed frequently, this should make using aTagger extensively easier.

GreggP · « **Reply #74 on:** November 27, 2004, 04:39:58 pm »

I've tried using aTagger several times and haven't been able to get anything to work. I have a single album in 'Playing Now', the aTagger list shows the same album with the following format:

Albert King / [1989] King of the Blues Guitar / 1 - Laundromat Blues

This is the 1st track and every track is displayed using the same format, the 1st track is selected. All of the fields in the 'Selected Song' section of aTagger are empty.

After I pick 'Start Tagging', I get a little message box that says "Processing error(s) were reported" and the report shows:

Try removing the date from tag properties and reprocess. Should work.

That didn't work. After removing the DATE field, 'Playing Now' shows:

Is your filename the same as the tagged info? I just tagged an album where the filename indicated "Ben Webster" and the tagged artist was "Ben Webster Quartet". aTagger was not able to process the album until I renamed all of the tracks.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I use Artist\Album\Track #\Name

What I meant to say was that the file must be renamed to match the tagged album name and the tagged Artist name. Prior to renaming the file to match the tagged info, aTagger could not process the album. Maybe this was just a coincidence. What I am positive of though, is that the artist and the album must match the AMG listing exactly.

The other thing that I've noticed is that aTagger will not process the information unless I'm logged into AMG at the time.

I guess I'm just not following you on this...

Are you saying the folder names for the artist and album must be exactly the same as what is in the AMG database? Is it a problem when the filename is just the track number followed by the song's title separated by a hyphen?

Maybe you could give me an example.

Hi GreggP,

I take back everything that I've told you with the exception of the album and artist tags having to match the AMG Album and Artist and being registered and logged into AMG. I've tried every combination of running aTagger with and without the tagged date and with and without filenames matching and presently it's working under all conditions. Have you registered with the AMG site and are you remaining logged in? I sure can understand your frustration with this.

Hi Shelly,

Are you stating here that we need to be logged IN or OUT of the AMG site ?
I have only been able to run a handful of albums per day or I get my IP blocked.

Hi AoXoMoXoA,

LOL - hardly an expert, just doing a lot of trial and error trying to find some kind of consistent pattern. The only times that I've experienced IP blocking is when I've logged out of the AMG site prior to running aTagger. So, it appears that you need to be logged in. I've been hoping that @l@n would jump in here to help sort this all out.
