Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Finding all tracks with nothing in their "Album" mp3 tag
I have my library on a NAS with "normal" mirrored 4Tb drives. It takes mp3tag about 45 minutes to load the whole set. But I've added the NAS mounted locally to mp3tag's Library option so that won't be a problem later. I confess I was skeptical (and mp3tag did die once), but I made great progress last night in fixing missing titles, genres, and albums. It really is a terrific tool. Now I've figured out how the "filter" option works it was a pleasure to us (and the forum is active and extensive, which is also a plus). Thanks.

Well, I tried using phpLiteAdmin, supposedly a SQLite version of phpSQLAdmin, but it does not 'recognize' library.db as a SQLite db. I even copied the entire ./Cache folder and nothing doing.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Finding all tracks with nothing in their "Album" mp3 tag
Jeff, Much thanks!!! It takes the LMS process well over an hour to run through my collection. I could have let mp3tag attempt to load the entire thing but was obviously hesitating ... I could find nothing on mp3tag's website about any limitations it might have. I'll set it up to load the whole thing tonight when I get home from a daytrip to Chicago. I use mp3tag all the time. But usually my left-clicking on a folder to load the tracks in it to edit track tags. So I'll be happy to use it going forward. Best regards!!

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Finding all tracks with nothing in their "Album" mp3 tag
That's how I "noticed" them ... they show up in the LMS New Music listing. I'm not surprised by this. I've been digitizing old LPs, so I've obviously missed tagging them. Getting from the LMS listing to a listing that shows tracks and file paths to find the actual files so I can tag them correctly is a LOT of work in LMS UI. I was hoping someone had the knowledge for searching the LMS DB using an AddOn tool or the CLI access method to create a listing. But knowing how to format the CLI query for 'album tag = NULL or "" ' is not obvious in any post I've read or documentation I've seen. Or, some *nix guru has an idea how to do this with CLI tools like find and id3v3 or mp3info. I could not figure out how to search for what I want using a single line CLI. So, before I created a shell script or Perl script I figured I'd ask here.

Then you can add the tags you want. Or you can export the tags %_path% and %title% or whatever info you want of these files into a text file.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Finding all tracks with nothing in their "Album" mp3 tag
All, I see in my LMS web UI a listing for "No Album" in, for example, New Music (see screen show below). When I click on it, I see 100s of tracks (see screen show below). 28712 28713 GAH! Now, I know why this is, so that's doesn't worry me. But, I want to fix them by assigning appropriate tracks to Albums, etc. Issue -- how can I get a complete list of these tracks (without using the LMS web UI)?? I've spend a fair bit of time (days, actually) trying to figure out how to get a list of these tracks that have no information in their mp3tab "album" tag. I've searched to find Linux/Windows commandline tools that can get to the file mp3tag data directly. Nothing (not even using RegEx). So I turned to LMS itself to see what may be possible. Seems the best approach is to use queries directly against the LMS db. But, how to do that? ErlandI created a SQL query plugin but there is no documentation I can find that explains how to use it. Nor do I find documentation on the DB structure to know how one might write an SQL query to do this. The CLI interface also doesn't see promising as a method to query the DB. I thought I could, perhaps, copy the contents of the Cache folder to a local drive, then set up phpLiteAdmin and open the DB in it, and try to use it's UI to do some SQL digging, but phpLiteAdmin persistently says that the files I copied (all of them) from the LMS ./Cache folder are not SQLite db files. Again, what I want is a list of these tracks that have a blank, NULL, empty, "", value in the Album mp3tag. The data should reference the path/filename (so they can actually be found on the harddrive). Since my music is on a NAS I can easily get to the physical files. Anyone have an idea how to get this list?m Thanks. +---+ |Filename: 2019-12-07 16_01_27-Logitech Media Server No Album Listing.png| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=28713| +---+ gstalnaker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63504 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111324 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
