Title: MusicBrainz Plugin
Post by: eclipxe on February 07, 2005, 02:38:12 am

Not sure if there exists a conflict of interest here (with YADB) but I am interested in developing a MusicBrainz plug-in - which would basically merge the functionality of the MusicBrainz tagger with MediaCenter's library -

I was wondering if:
a) Is there any interest for this, or any other plug-ins or development that is already doing this
b) Is it possibile to control the YADB process (submitting track info) from the SDK?

Thanks

a: yes
b: no

I had thought about this about a year ago, but the SDK does not support Visual basic (from what MusicBrainz) told me.

but if you know "C" you could use MusicBrainz for track lookup

They now have a C# wrapper for MusicBrainz, so I am basing the code off of this.

What I now wonder is the best way to implement the functionality. Either

a) Making a clone of their Tagger that uses MediaCenter as a back-end
b) Making an entirely new way of tagging and organizing that is more integrated in the Media Center process.

Any suggestions guys?

Thanks!

I just like things to be auto batched without alot Or any of user input.

I would love a MusicBrainz Tagger plug-in for MC. It would work great with the Audioscrobbler combo.
