hi dano

your MusicBrainzXML-script is working fine. I only had some issues if it finds albums which doesn't contian the "type" of the release, so i modified it a little bit.

CODE

38    # Type
39    if "\" type=\""
40        findinline "type=\""
41        sayuntil "\""
42    else
43        say "unknown"
44    endif
45    say "|"

Best regards
Tommy

I've fixed that some time ago but forgot to update here..

[hanshans]

hi again dano

thanx for your update

i am trying to write a web source for MusicBrainz XML lookup based on your album lookup, but i don't get it to work.
i get an error that there is no connection to the url musicbrainz.org.
don't know how i have to skip the search part and only run the album part of the script

i hope you can help me

regards
tommy

BTW: i modified your MB-non-XML web source to lookup with the id which works fine.

You must have the complete url in [IndexUrl]

CODE

[IndexUrl]=http://musicbrainz.org/ws/1/release/%s?type=xml&inc=tracks+artist+release-events
[AlbumUrl]=
[WordSeperator]=
[IndexFormat]=%_url%|%Album%|%Artist%|%Year%
[SearchBy]=%comment%
[Encoding]=utf-8

[ParserScriptIndex]=...
# ###################################################################
#                    I  N  D  E  X
# ###################################################################
#debug "on" "c:\\debug_MusicBrainz-XML_A.html" "5"

sayoutput "CurrentUrl"
say "|"

Thanks dano

it works fine
But there yet another problem to lookup the following disc with the xml script:
- Paul McCartney - Wingspan: Hits
http://musicbrainz.org/release/8cec0b4d-ae...7ac076934d.html

only 15 tracks are read and there is an error for the artist column.

regards
Tommy

[dano]

The xml file does not have an artist for every track.
It leaves out the artist when the track artist is the same as the main artist (here it is Paul McCartney)
I can only make it skip the empty artists (update in first post)

I also made a new topic...

Thanks dano for this alternate websource. I knew that would be the better way to access musicbrainz, but never got around to writing a parser. For those of you who still use the old musicbrainz websource (that grabs the album art), here's an updated version that fixes a small bug where it wouldn't find tracks that were flagged for revision. Let me know if there are any more bugs.

Added.

Very cool script. Thanks dano.

Is it just me or is this script not working anymore?

For example, the Album "Neon Bible" (Arcade Fire) can't be found even though musicbrainz.org lists it (http://musicbrainz.org/release/b326d239-245a-49b5-b5e1-2adb94df7740.html). Same thing with many other albums. Can't find a working one just now..

One char .. get update.

[DaReal]

Thank you very much

Any idea why the character encoding sometimes doesn't work as it should when fetching data with this script? It seems to be totally random if the encoding works or if the special characters are messed up. So far I've been able to get correct data by trying a few times, but I wonder if the problem is in the script or at MB's end.

But thanks for the excellent script, made me a devoted MusicBrainz user.

[dano]

This problem has occured before but nobody could find the reason.
The script cannot influence this, it could be Musicbraniz server or Mp3tag. It happens not very often, it's hard to find the problem.
Maybe you can give a few search terms that caused the problem.

[dano]

Added length display and ASIN Tag and a script that also adds MusicBrainz ID Tags!
