I thought this might be the case and I am partly to blame since I really don't use the "album artist" tag in any meaningful way besides which I would have to go back and edit the tags on most of music library, not something I'm going to do anytime soon, if ever. jezbo wrote: > It uses a LAST.FM API which provides this info: > http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=artist.getsimilar&artist=Duke%20Ellington&api_key=571f533524545be0f14794f7316eb0ba > (it uses any with a match score of 0.7 or greater, this could possibly > be lowered for Jazz since "Duke Ellington & John Coltrane" is given a > similarity score of 0.45549) Again I thought this was the case. So that would leave several options: 1) Lower the match score. 2) See if the last.fm data can be modified. 2) Provide a way for the similar artists list to be modified by the user, since the last.fm data often is not very good or useful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
