Questions / Re: Release Type, Samplerate & Bitrate scripting

« on: January 26, 2021, 08:08:49 AM »

Hi again folks.

Thats what Ive achieved to code on musicbee. Im so close to my goal, but I didnt found more information about coding on the wiki (Its a little bit hard the coding thing) Ive found how to pick the first artist only, but Im stuck with the enconder thing...

Code

$Group($Sort(<Artista del Álbum>),1)\$Sort($First(<Artista del Álbum>))\<Release Type>\(<Año>) <Álbum> [<.Ext>]\<Disco-Tema> <Título>[<Tasa de bits>-<Frecuencia de muestreo>]

I would like to sustitute the <.Ext> tag for "encoder" tag that give some info depends what it founds on the enconder section, so...

Code

$If($Contains(<encoder>,MQA)=MQA

And another question is:

When MQA doesnt appear on the enconder, its possible to get the extension instead of the enconder?
I thought is something like...

Code

$If($And(Criteria 1,Criteria 2),True Result,False Result)

But The functions wiki article is not full of examples to check
Another alternative is to replace script on the <.Ext> info to write MQA when get that info from the encoder tag...

Thanks

Something Like:

\Music\N\Netsky\Albúm\(2016) 3 [flac - 16bits - 44khz]\01 Thunder.flac

You're trying to rename all your music files using the File Organizer then?

Code

\Music\$Group(<Album Artist>,1)\<Album Artist>\<CUSTOM TAG HERE>\(<Year>) <Album> [<.Ext>$IsNull(<Bit Depth>,,"- <Bit Depth>") - <Sample Rate>]\$IsNull(<Disc#>,,<Disc#>" ")<Title>

Ive got 2 problems.
- Release Type: single, album or whatever. Autotagging dont get that info
- bitrate and sample rate are not the same on all album files, so I want to set that to high value

1) You'll either have to input the "release type" manually, or use MusicBrainz Picard to tag it and then set up a Custom Tag in MusicBee to access it.
2) Not possible. Bit depth and sample rate should be consistent across the album. Do you mean the bitrates are different? If so, you don't have to worry about that, as your requested script layout doesn't include them.

Hi again folks. Ive been using some of ur tips, but now, Im gonna rename my collection to fit on my plex media server.
Ive got some questions about scripting, and maybe u could help me with that.

Album Example:Collision Course

This album got a pair of artist, so i want to make a script to pick only the first one, so it will finish in something like this.

Music/L/Linkin Park/Albúm/(2004) Collision Course [FLAC]/01 Dirt Off Your Shoulder / Lying From You [16bit 48kHz]

What shoul I add to this code that u created some weeks ago to....

1. Get only the first artist of the album
2. When the album is only 1disc, dont put 1-01, only 01.
3. Is possible to create a replace script on the <.Ext> info to write MQA when get that info from the encoder tag?

Code

\Music\$Group(<Album Artist>,1)\<Album Artist>\<CUSTOM TAG HERE>\(<Year>) <Album> [<.Ext>]\$IsNull(<Disc#>,,<Disc#>" ")[<Title>$IsNull(<Bit Depth>,,"- <Bit Depth>") - <Sample Rate>]

You don't need scripts in Picard to get either of them, they're both included automatically.  Look for Media and Release Type in the tag mapping here: https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/v2.4/en/appendices/tag_mapping.html

To access them in MusicBee,  you're right that Media Type is already available (see first screenshot). Release type can be configured in Define New Tags by following the Picard tag mapping (second screenshot). Then you can add it as a custom tag the same way as Media Type.

Adding Media Type as custom tag:


Release Type custom tag configuration:


Then you add it the same way:

Hi mate, and thanks for helping me trying to setup this. I´ve follow your instructiones, but I cant get the info from MusicBrainz.
I make this steps.

First, I create this custom tag
customtag

with this options
identifier

I tried with this info, and the one in your photo
musicbrainz

I go to autotag function, but it seems that musicbee dont get any info of release type. What im doing wrong?
This is my first time with custom tags and autotag, so maybe im not doing it well

Thanks!

So... When I use the autotag tool on MB is not getting the info that I wan to add? (Release type)
That Ive trying to achieve is getting what type of release from musicbee, no mattee if this come from musicbrainz or discogs.

So you are not using MusicBrainz' Picard?
There is a reason that 'Picard' is in the title of this topic.
It would be good not to post questions here that don't have anything to do with Picard.

edit
sorry phred, I am aware my reply coincided with yours ;-)

First of all, sorry for my english, maybe is harder to understand what im trying to say,
Yep, Im using Picard (ive tried to use beets, but It so much harder without gui)

If I tag the <release type> on picard, I should create a custom tag to use on musicbee, right?

That Ive asked as well, if its possible to use picard from musicbee to get the RELEASE TYPE

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you trying to tag something with Picard that will be visible in MusicBee?

Yep, I want to edit the information of my music album with some musicbrainz info.
Specifically this info Ive been doing manually for the latest month, but maybe musicbee is capable to get this automatically.

You understand that "tag something with Picard" is different than "get this automatically" in Musicbee, right? This is not Musicbee doing the tagging.  You will need to do your tagging in Picard and then set up Musicbee to read those tags.

Its possible to get <release group> musicbrainz info from musicbee or I should use musicbrainz to tag songs and after that use custom tags on musicbee?

Questions / Release Type, Samplerate & Bitrate scripting

« on: December 06, 2020, 04:54:57 PM »

Hi again!

I just comeback to musicbee after try beets... not exactly what im looking for.
I really like this software, but I need some help with scripting.
2 questions about it.

1- Ive already got this
$Group($Sort(<Album Artist>),1)\<Album Artist>\<Group>\ (<Year>) <Álbum> [<.Ext>]\<Disc-Number> <Títle>

GROUP is for tag: Release Type, Ive doing this classification manually, any chances to use the autotag for get this info? Ive read this but I dont get how to make it work.

2- [<.Ext> - <Bit Depth> - <Sample Rate>]
Another problem that Ive got is when albums are splitting because different samplerate or bitdepth. How can I gen the upper bitrate to renaming the folder?

Hope u understand my english

Questions / Re: Musicbee on SSD. Files on HDD

« on: December 06, 2020, 04:40:21 PM »

Note that MusicBee offers a few ways to backup and restore settings. You can also import your old .mbl file into your new installation (overwriting newly created .mbl), and you won't even have to rescan everything. Unless the audio files have moved, MusicBee doesn't care where the library file is.

See also (though it doesn't cover some of the current, simpler methods): https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/Backup_%26_Restore

Thanks for that link. It really help me out!
