Hey Florian,
Awesome Awesome tagger ya got here... Only thing I don't like is the freedb support - I'm not a big fan of the freedb because of the multiple instances of every album etc. - can get somewhat messy. I am a stickler for tagging my music the correct way and producing filenames that match and your program does this beautifully. I liked Tag&Rename for only one reason and that wasfor the AMG support it had, when that went out the door because of the TOS I started looking and came across your nice little proggy. Clean - No BS - That's what I like. I was wandering around looking at the AMG site to match and make sure a set of freedb tags was correct - which is terribly painful because the AMG site sux, when it occured to me.... Have you thought about using http://ubl.artistdirect.com as a source for the tagging? TOS seems to be OK, might need to read it closer, but might be worth making a parser so that it can grab info from it. Could be better than the freedb - dunno how many entries it actually has, but it seems to be a fairly complete listing. Give me some feedback on what you might think about this and whether it might be possible to try it. I am glad that you haven't gone the route of Amazon or some such... but this could be a valid alternative if at all possible. I do know that The Godfather has actually used a script to go ahead and use the AMG site but thier program is such a clusterbeep that I am not even interested. I have actually passed your program on to some other peeps and we all agree it is awesome. With the addition of a better tagging source and... well my one wee thing is... I sure would like to have the album art in my file... I know I know I have read the forums, but I like that because I like having it load when I am listening to my music. Other than that - perfect - easy to use - no extra dumb crap and a clean interface. MP3Tag doesnt do everything some of the other programs, but it does the things it does beautifully... the things I want it to do. Keep up the excellent work  Thanks, G13 |

CDDB by Gracenote is also one of the biggest databeses out there. I know this is probably asking for too much but it will make a nice addition to the other services.

QUOTE (Digitaldesi @ Feb 8 2005, 09:00 AM) CDDB by Gracenote is also one of the biggest databeses out there. I know this is probably asking for too much but it will make a nice addition to the other services.  According to their EULA, you are not allowed to implement access to other databases when using their CDDB2 service. Also, during the query you are required to display the Grancenote logo. Edit: Oh, and the most important thing - you have to pay for the license, unless you have a non commercial product (and MP3Tag is a commercial product according to their terms of service).
