Setting Up Weblinks In The Track Details Tab/Panel

[boroboy383]

Hi There

I have been reading through how to set up up custom weblinks to sites for but seem to be struggling to get it working.

I have tried to set up the link that was on the site for AllMusic Artists (https://www.allmusic.com/search/artist/<Artist>) but this just loads me to the main AllMusic homepage ?? so obviously I am doing something wrong. The All Music Album (http://www.allmusic.com/search/album/<Album>) does take me to the search results page which is great but is there anyway for it to load up the relevant album review direct just to save clicking on a link to on the website at all as i am just been lazy not wanting to click the link it brings up     .

I also am trying to set up customer links to 2 other sites for album reviews which are https://www.sputnikmusic.com & https://www.musicomh.com. for the first one mentioned here (sputnikmusic) i have tried to set up the link as https://www.sputnikmusic.com/search/?type=all&artist=<Artist><album> which I am guessing is incorrect as it just brings up a 404 error page (see I knew i was no good at this kind of stuff!!)

I am hoping again someone in the musicbee community can help me with setting up these address correctly as i am massively struggling with this and would help me from having to copy and paste nearly 7000 album reviews into the comments field of albums, which as you can imagine is quite tedious and time consuming.

Thanks for any help

For your first issue, AllMusic Artists should be

Code

(https://www.allmusic.com/search/artists/<Artist>)

For jumping to an album, looks like AllMusic uses a hash at the end of the album link, so it's not possible to go directly to the webpage.

I also am trying to set up customer links to 2 other sites for album reviews which are https://www.sputnikmusic.com & https://www.musicomh.com. for the first one mentioned here (sputnikmusic) i have tried to set up the link as https://www.sputnikmusic.com/search/?type=all&artist=<Artist><album> which I am guessing is incorrect as it just brings up a 404 error page (see I knew i was no good at this kind of stuff!!)

For Sputnik Music, can only search for a band or artist.

Code

https://www.sputnikmusic.com/search_results.php?genreid=0&search_in=Bands&search_text=$Replace(<Artist>," ",+)&x=28&y=18

Cheers for this though not exactly how I was hoping it would work it is good enough so thank you very much for this I have have been trying to figure this out most of the evening and was getting completely fed up with it!!!

another quick question do you know if https://www.musicomh.com can this be set up to link to album reviews at all or not, my guess is on it not been able to.

and finally I guess i an not able to make a link specific for an album review to be clickable. What I mean by this is for example I wanted to add this web address https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/32200/The-xx-xx/ to either a custom field or the comment field so it shows like a hyperlink would when it in the post on for example the above on a forum.

I hope that last bit makes sense as it does in my mind but might not to others!!    if not i will try and explain it better.

Thanks again

https://www.musicomh.com/reviews/albums/$Replace(<Artist>-<Album>," ",-)

...should work.

It won't work, because of the hash/number used before the artist and album names.

PS just to let you know the music ohm web link does not work just brings back a 404 error so guess there website does not work with it correctly.

I just tried with an album that isn't on there and it brought up the error page.
Then, I tried with an album that is on there and it worked. The album you're searching for must not have a review on the site, or the artist or album is titled slightly differently than how you've tagged it?

I see what you mean now as I have just re-titled an album to how the name shows on the music ohm website and it works now, though not sure I want to start renaming loads of albums as am having to put the artist in the album name field as well as the album title so that with the amount of albums I have will take some time to do and not sure I want it showing that way in musicbee tbf.

Thanks for all the help it is appreciated.
