On the Vortexbox, though, I'm still looking for an adequate web-based tag editor. Subsonic at least gets in and does something useful, but it's missing a lot of actual tag slots (Album Artist, e.g., which I find handy on compilation and cover albums).  The bulk of new CDs I buy are small runs bought directly from the bands — 9 of the last 10 disks I ripped came up 'Unknown_Artist_-_Unknown_Album' — so having a really good tag editor's important to me.

Bliss looks like a great project, but for cleaning up my library, it looks like I'm still stuck with ungainly foobar2000 scripts, at least for the moment.

General tag editing is somewhere I want to take bliss. The UserVoice page has a few ideas in this regard:

http://bliss.uservoice.com/for…..-tags-info

http://bliss.uservoice.com/for…..-tagging-l

These are mostly about automated tagging but I see no reason why individual tags couldn't be editable.

That said it would fit within the 'rules' idea I'm developing with bliss. If you had a rule for genres, it may only offer you the genres you said you wanted in your rule.

Got a few other niggles to work out first though

Andrew could you please change the following 2 lines in /var/www/html/libs/vortexbox.php so that new windows/tabs open for pages that have the icon array disappear.

$icon_array[2] = array('location' => $loacation_count += 75, 'name' => 'SqueezeBox Server', 'icon' => 'SqueezeCenter.png', 'link' => 'http://'.$ipaddress.$SCport.' "target="_sqzcntr');

and

$icon_array[5] = array('location' => $loacation_count += 75, 'name' => 'System Status', 'icon' => 'status.png', 'link' => '/phpsysinfo'.' "target="_sysinfo');

Maybe you can also do the same for the votexbox.org link in the home page

How's about a file-renamer for existing music files? When we rip from CD, spaces are replaced with underscores, etc, and I'd like to be able to do the same with my existing files as well. Rather than scan the main library, have a dedicated "import" folder where we can drop off files for cleanup/import.

In fact, since I sometimes move files around from the shell prompt, I'd like the option to use only Aa-Zz, 0-9, periods, underscores and dashes in the file names, strip off any leading or trailing spaces altogether, simply strip out multiple spaces, and so forth.

Pretty impressed with 1.4 as it exists now; keep up the good work!

It would be awesome if picard was integrated with audio fingerprinting.

We use MusicBrainz for tagging so the functionality of Picard is already in there.

Only the tagging part though, right Andrew? Or is the recognition of the music also done via fingerprinting?

Hi,

jcmoonraker noted that It would be good to have the picard service integrated in VortexBox so that its audio fingerprinting could benefit customers.

Andrew answered that VortexBox tags with MusicBrainz tagging and therefore the functionality of picard is in VortexBox.

gravelld suggested that recognition via fingerprinting does not seem to be included in VortexBox because of MusicBrainz and asked if it is included.  There was no answer.

I am also interested to learn if VortexBox includes picard audio fingerprinting.  If picard audio fingerprinting is in VortexBox-ripped files, please provide a link to documentation on how to find and use it.

Thanks,
JG

Jeeze, it's tiring reading of you banging on about documentation.

Your looking at pretty advanced functionality – if you want to work out how to do it, then do it (and contribute by documenting it). 

Thanks meatl,

I am interested to learn if VortexBox includes picard audio fingerprinting. 

I have searched every way and every place I can think of.  I can't find it.  The only reference I find is Andrew's statement, "the functionality of Picard is already in there." 

If anyone can point me to the picard audio fingerprinting in VortexBox, I'd appreciate it.

Access to the card reader – why can no-one explain why this feature isn't standard ? All I get is a statement saying it doesn't work !
