And IIRC, Musicbrainz has unique IDs for each individual file. Gracenote would absolutely match these songs to the albums I expect. But the tagger can only work with the data it’s given, and I don’t know if Musicbrainz data is clean enough to accurately tag my collection - or if the ALL the folks tagging have the provenance for their entries. Now, I believe that the music tagger needs to take the blame for not assembling albums and just hitting the first entry and calling it a day, regardless. I bring these up because not a single song in my collection should be tagged to anything esoteric, and yet my collection is now tagged to albums I never owned, at the expense of albums I do own. Yet Musicbrainz has this as Sie liebt dich (She Loves You) / I’ll Get You Sie liebt dich - should be on Past Masters Volume 1, as that’s the CD I purchased. it literally HAS to be, because that’s the only way I acquired the song.Įight Days A Week - should be on Beatles For Sale, or, at worst the “Red Album” (of which I have no provenance) but Musicbrainz has it as “The US Albums” which was released long after I stopped buying CDs and purchased directly from iTunes. This should be A Hard Day’ Night, track 1 from the Parlophone 2009 release. So if I bang my collection up against Musicbrainz, every song I have should belong to one of those CDs or be a duplicate thereof.Ī Hard Day’s Night is tagged as I Should Have Known Better (RM1 take 22), A Hard Day’s Night Deluxe Edition, Vol. However, my Beatles collection - acquired long before the Internet existed, is solely comprised of the Parlophone CDs, 1, and I believe the first Anthology. That comprises the bulk of my collection. To be clear, the vast majority of my collection also “has the receipts.” I have my CD collection, my husband’s CD collection, my mother’s and my father’s. In my efforts to determine where the point of failure lies, I’ve decided to focus on a specific subset of music - specifically my Beatles collection, because I (as the kids say) “have the receipts” - I know exactly which albums I do have. Yet, my first pass (using Jaikoz) with MusicBrainz has, to be polite, introduced a significant delta in expected results, to the point where I am now manually tagging over 80% of over 50,000 songs. In the past, I’ve used TuneUp, which has been pretty spot-on as far as identifying songs yet as TuneUp no longer seems to be in development, I need to look into alternatives, and Musicbrainz seems to be “the” alternative to Gracenote. I’ve been working on restoring my music library, which is quite extensive.
