Glad you got to the bottom of it. The tags are simply ID3 (for mp3 files) and vorbiscomment (for flac files), which are the standard tag formats for those two file types. The tags genpuid creates should be easily visible in any tag editor (but for the record I've been using the freeware app called simply "Tag" on Mac OS).
If you've been using genpuid on Windows and the file is an mp3 file then you should see three tag fields created by genpuid: MusicMagic Fingerprint MusicMagic Data MusicIP Data All three will have long strings of seemingly random ASCII characters. If you archived the analysis via MusicIP Mixer then you will only see the first two tags listed. For a FLAC file the fields are similar but named "FINGERPRINT", "ANALYSIS" and "MUSICIP_DATA" instead (with MUSICIP_DATA missing if you used MusicIP Mixer instead of genpuid). If you used genpuid on linux/MacOS I have no idea what those tags look like--I assume they are the same but I could never get genpuid working properly on those platforms so I can't say for sure. Oh, and one more thing to watch for, some tracks may show a "MUSICIP_PUID" tag (probably shows as "MusicIP Puid" for mp3 files. If you see that tag then it means for that track genpuid/MusicIP Mixer matched the fingerprint with one on the server and the contents of the "MusicMagic Data" tag was fetched from the server and not generated locally. I have very few files that show a PUID tag but the less files I feed to genpuid en masse the more PUIDs seem to match. If all you are seeing is the Fingerprint tag then it means that analysis was not completed or not archived. Make sure you're using the -archive switch with genpuid. And for troubleshooting, turn on the -xml option and then genpuid will write the analysis tag to the xml file in addition to the id3/vorbiscomment tag. Hope that helps. -- bookemdano ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bookemdano's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34640 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91499 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
