Thanks. I'm sure it is my tagging for the vast majority of unrecognised tracks. I do have quite a lot of electronic/dance music and as you say, it is full of "feat.", "pres.", "vs." and minor variations in track names for multiple remixes of the same track. I've "tidied" a lot of this up as there can be a lot of inconsistencies with tags from databases like Gracenote but this probably means the track won't be recognised by Echonest. I'll do some investigation in the TEN forums. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mikerob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=835 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97668 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
