So, is there a reason the Plugin can't just pass the query for "Maurice
Ravel La Valse" to Qobuz? Because that would certainly yield the correct
result?
Check out the result yourself:
http://www.qobuz.com/api.json/0.2/catalog/search?app_id=100000000&query=maurice%20ravel%20la%20valse&type=tracks
Even if I know that the artist you're looking for, it doesn't show up in
as the album artist or performer of any of the first few matches.It's
listed as the composer at best. And then it's not "Maurice Ravel", but
"Ravel, Maurice". Sure, I could extend the search to that property, too.
But then in many other cases you would end up with stuff you don't want
(eg. one of the endless covers of a hit).
IMHO many of these systems (like LMS) aren't optimized for classical
music. There are criteria you hardly ever need to deal with in popular
music, such as conductors, composers etc.
I wouldn't say it's not possible. But it's complicated, requires a lot
of tuning, which means: a lot of time.
on which level SmartMix communicates with Qobuz, but it it could simply
send the original "Artist and Title" to Qobuz, then it should actually
work fine.
In a perfect world, yes. But we're not living there.
Qobuz would return several possible results, and it could
simply play the first/best? Or am I thinking too simple?
Please define first and best. That's the big challenge here.
