Title: Auto-tag using sound signiture not working
Post by: ken481 on March 19, 2014, 09:35:27 PM: Hi Guys

I am new to Music Bee - i tried using the Autotag feature to identify track and subsequently tag it using the sound signiture - but i tried multiple tracks but none of them got he tag data updated.

I always get - no tags where updated.

Not sure if this requires any settings i am missing to make it work

can you post a screenshot of the auto-tag dialog so i can see how you have set the parameters?

edit:
this is the updated version with the album name fix. Although i dont think that is your issue:

Can you please tell me which is the aut-tag dialog - is it found in the preferences under Tag2? - where you have a list of services from where to get the tag info?

Also note that it doesn't work always accurately, nor it can recognize every song. For those reasons, I rarely use the feature.
Try with some standard popular tracks to see if it's really broken or just can't recognize your tracks. At least it's working fine for me.

Post by: Steven on March 22, 2014, 04:58:06 PM: the settings look ok and as redwing suggests the sound signature doesnt always work. Trying myself on my own tracks its working fine.
If you want, you can PM me a link to the file and i will try to see if there isnt some other issue going on for you.

Sent you PM link to file

Post by: Steven on March 22, 2014, 05:27:39 PM: i had no problems with the file you sent. Are you sure MusicBee can connect to the internet? eg. your security software isnt blocking access
You should get a dialog that says "analysing the diigital sound signature" that displays for 15-30 secs. If that doesnt happen its likely the internet access is being blocked

Post by: ken481 on March 22, 2014, 05:36:34 PM: Yes i get that Dialogue but the tag is not updated - it only lasts for 1-2 seconds but

It tell me no tags were updated

Yes it can connect to internet since i did manage to update cover art

Post by: ken481 on March 22, 2014, 05:43:09 PM: IT WORKED!!!

Ok let me explain

So if you right click on the track - you need to select Auto-tag by tract and it works

Before i was selecting EDIT - > Auto-tag now - that does not work
