http://mixesdb.com is a database for dj-sets which circulate in the internet with focus on electronic music (house, techno, minimal, ...). It lists dj-sets and their tracklists, file details, dates, artists, clubs, events, radio shows, podcasts, flyers, etc.
the script writes these ID-tags:
artist = DJ name(s)
albumartist = DJ name(s)
album = name of event/club/podcast/radioshow
title = name of event/club/podcast/radioshow + date (DD.MM.YYYY)
year = year
genre = genre
unsyncedlyrics = notes & tracklists
www = the reference page at mixesdb.com
pubisher url = the page where official mixes (mailny podcasts) are published
mixesdb.com title = page/mix name at mixesdb.com
comment (optional) = tracklist status
coverpicture (optional) = coverartwork/flyers
the script has several "options".
these are places at the script which i prepared for easy editing.
open the script with a text editior (e.g. notepad.exe or wordpad.exe).
go to the places which are marked like this:
OPTION:
option so and so
there you find an easy explantion what you can choose there and how to do this.
the options work by writing or deleting the hash/pound character --> #
(if "#" stands in front of a line, this line is ignored by the script. so you can block certain things by adding it in front of the line and allowing other things by deleting it, where i have blocked something by default)
the options are:
- mixesdb.com-title as album or title name (default: neither)
- European or American date (default: European date)
- mutivalue or standard tags for genre (default: multivalue tags)
- tracklist status into comment tag (default: no)
- image into cover artwork (default: no)
- tracklist into lyrics or comment (default: lyrics)
- tracklist into lyrics AND comment (default: no)
- mixesdb-url & publisher-url into www tag or extra tags (default: mixesdb-url into %www% & publisher-url into %wwwpublisher%)
note:
-you have to edit this options in every script (of the nine different search scripts) you want to use. so if you want to use all of them, just edit one of them and them copy & paste the edited album section into the others. they only differ in the search & index section.
but for most people, the first script (advanced search - DJ) will be enough. or you just leave every otption as set by default.
- if you use multivalue tags for genre (deffault), you have to do an additional saving after running the script. without an extra saving, the genres are in one tag and separated by "\\". so you have to press strg + s after running the sript.
when you use a mediaplayer which does not support multivalue tags, you will only see the first tag.
there are now 9 different ways to search:
advanced search by DJ / DJ + Album / DJ + Year
with advanced seach, you can search for everything contained in the page title (=name of the mix).
advanced search in categories by DJ / DJ + Album / DJ + Year
with advanced search in categories, you can search for all categories attributed to a mix. you have to sepereate them with AND if you combine more than one
listing of categories by DJ / DJ from Year
this lists ONE category, beginning with the oldest mix or with a year you can select. this require the excact name of the category and is Case Senitive
direct per URL
this is for direct copy & paste of the URL from your browser if you have already watched the page there.
note:
- the different sub-searches differ only in the way they get the search word from the mp3 file. you also can search for albums (name of event/club/podcast/radioshow) instead of the DJ, but you have to type it in manually.
- in advance search and advance search in categories:
- CaPiTalizAtiOn doesn't matter
- you can use and combine the operators OR, AND, *, ( ),
- categories generally require exact spelling of all words, but are only case sensitive at listing. If you search for DJ Hell or Sven Väth, you will get matches with all searches and listings for "DJ Hell" and "Sven Väth", only in advanced search and advanced search in categories ofr "dj hell" and "sven väth", only in advanced search for "hell", "sven" and "väth", and no results for "d.j. hell", "sven vath", "sven vaeth", "Papa"...
- there are categories for everything at MixesDB: artists, clubs, events, shows, podcasts, year, genre, radio, trackliststatus,
