Hi Michael, Sorry I did that yesterday night, and once I managed to finish the scan I just went to get some sleep It's been a nightmare to run the Squeezeserver without issue on a Backtrack distrib but all right, here I am.
So here a more details ( I did not had time yet to really check all the files , I will do that during the week end and send a more detailed report ) The 3331 files were: - General albums and in purposes: - Classical Music albums - VA Classical albums - Various Artist albums - Bootlegs - some no commercial tracks ( DJ Mixtapes for IE ) Famous and no-famous - Few Vinyl ripped from Serato So Today I launched Amarok and the cover manager to have a look about the job done, I'm quiet impressed regarding the accuracy of the Artwork, I was not expecting the scanner to download Bootlegs covers such as " G-unit city " // DJ Mixtape including VA tracks, awesome ! more globally on 192 messed albums ( I ve removed the Tags, messed by bunch of songs to see how it would go only with incomplete names in tags ) I've found files with tags IN_SUCH_FORMAT_NAME_SONG inside this bunch 34 missing covers - Tracks were poorly tagged and hard song to find such as this file: Artist: Snow Informer -- no more tags -- -> Missing cover , expected behavior but I wanted to really push it -> Tried to download the cover from Amarok utility using Amazon source for the same for the file descripted above, failed So I took the track, launched musicbrainz on amarok and re-scanned -> I've got the cover from the Squeezeserver. So no doubt, the main issue is the tagging on these 34 missing cover, no probs But still 158/192 messed files has been artworked Now I've took again the same library, before the scan and made an Amarok Scan: - 1749 Artwork downloaded in 24 minutes - 2187 With the Squeezeserver scan in 18.20 ( Please note that Amarok gives you the choice to choose the Amazon location, I utilized "International" ) - I did not check the classical music yet, but after a global overview it seems to be pretty good, I will provide more on a next mail - Another point, I've got an hard drive with Chinese tracks, I don't know if that will match with Last FM database at all as they are not in Latin format, but if you interested let me know, I can give it a try I will now backup my musical collection and apply the scan to see what is gives with a 200GB of files, let me know if it's interesting for you I can do both test, Amarok / Amazon and Squeezeserver / Last FM I will edit my tags making sure I give this time the scanner the best accuracy. These conditions were not optimal at all and not reflecting the musical collection of an audiophile, more the collection of a P2P downloader, but still the accuracy is to me awesome ! I made no test on the players are they are connected to the 7.5.1 vortexbox but if the Full library "artworking" is a succes I will try to run it on the vortexbox and see what it gives in terms of performance, but it's a an old laptop that used to run win98... let's see But for now really satisfied !! Awesome tool, I will update regarding the others categories soon ( Classical music, Ripped vinyl ... ) but for now I've got a girl to take care and she's not that much into Squeezebox ;) have a nice day !
