What I am suggesting is you could do a lot beyond just metadata lookups, but as a byproduct of them. what I mean is a system that adds a tag for the md5 hash value, audio fingerprinting, degree of confidence comparisons and so on. it would be a really great idea to use a system that does use these multiple sources, and also does its own thing. it looks to me like it searches via web searches, like google, but of specific sites.

EAC will parlay the metadata it find into album image lookups, and I almost always find my art with it. Let me clarify that I have np with musicbrainz as a source for normal tags, which is what EAC inserts, I just don't want winamp to insert MB specific tag fields/frames that I don't want, or at the very least have the option to opt out of those frames being inserted.ģ. the reason I have never used picard / musicbrainz apps is b/c they spam a lot of musicbrainz specific fields into one's tags, and I don't like that, esp since some apps will use those tags for sorting and so on over, or instead of, the obvious ones you can easily see and edit. Hopefully it will be as helpful and intuitive as the previous one.Ģ. The autotag function, however, is one of the best things about it, so I look forward to the day it works again.
#Winamp gracenote tools mac osx#
That's good news, as I've been using it for as long as I've had a computer (with the old mac osx aqua skin), and don't care for any of the alternatives I've used. I didn't even realize winamp had new owners. I was getting pretty frustrated trying to find a solution when there isn't one. Thank you for explaining what the problem is. I've downloaded mp3tag, and the mp3 source for .jp, so it sort of does the job, but it's quite tedious, and can't identify any of the unknown songs by unknown artists.
#Winamp gracenote tools update#
After the tagging issue suddenly arose a few days ago, I googled for a solution, and found a few old threads by people with the same problem, with a few suggestions for fixes - update addons, do a complete winamp uninstall and clean install, roll back computer to a previous restore date, and so on. I've gone through 122 cds, with approximately 288 to go. They're mostly Japanese, and the gracenote tagging has been quick, mostly accurate, and a saviour for actually finding out the artist name and song title for a lot of songs that were complete mysteries. I've been transferring music from burned cdrs and dvdrs to my hard drive and external hd, and tagging them in winamp. Oh, how I wish I'd seen this thread earlier.
