Last.fm Plus Genre and extended tags plugin for Picard 0.15+ (Page 2 of 3)

Awesome, thanks.

Ohh man, this looks like just what I was looking for! I haven't tested it yet, but I was planning to ask around for a genre + country/city tagging script/ application. If this does the job, I am forever indebted to you!
I don't trust last.fm tags so much, as say, rateyourmusic (though more comprehensive), and I'm curious how you get country and city data (I've only really seen it on rym, vaguely comprehensively). But anyway, looking forward to using this!

Got it.  The ones in the program files folder were correct, but there were also copies in C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData\Roaming\MusicBrainz\Picard\plugins

Thanks for the help!

Can you give a few more details? Which MB release/track are you trying to tag? What settings do you have for the plugin? What are you expecting to see? When you right click > details... on the track, can you see any entry for Genre or Group in the list of tags displayed. Which application are you trying to use to verify whether the tags are added?

Not so much of a rookie. To be fair, a better designed plugin would warn you of this; and/or try and change the settings for you. :)

Hello!

I was just wondering if there is any way to make it so that 'grouping' is automatically chosen per album or artist, instead of per song?

What I'm trying to do is set up a file naming convention to include %grouping% at the very beginning, so groupings will be sorted into folders.

An example is the Aphex Twin album "Donkey Rhubarb" that has a Phillip Glass version of a song on the album. So one song gets filtered as 'classical', but this means the album is spread around in a couple different places.

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi! Many thanks for this awesome plugin, but there are some bugs and improvements that I’ve found.

1) Minimum Tag-Weight of Track Based Tags applied for Artist Based Tags. I’ve found problem: in line 142

below = (s and weight < cfg["lastfm_min_artisttag_weight"]) or (not s and weight < cfg["lastfm_min_tracktag_weight"])

s should be replaced whith arttag

below = (arttag and weight < cfg["lastfm_min_artisttag_weight"]) or (not arttag and weight < cfg["lastfm_min_tracktag_weight"])

2) Default Tag Translation list isn’t loaded after installing plugin, only two lines with "drum and bass" appeared. It loads only after clicking "Load Default". It can be helpful for newbie users.

3) By the way, it would be cool to improve existing default tags and tags translation lists. For example, translating Death Metal to Doom Metal is wrong. I understand this is hard and maybe not critical, but it can help to new users.

4) Hints in options menu should be edited, there are many unnecessary paragraphs in them. And there are some options that can be hardly understood even with hints. For example i still don't know what "Maximum Inter-Tag Drop" means.

5) I think, that logic, when grouping and genre can't have the same tags is wrong. For example User have default options:
Major Tags - Group = 1
Minor Tags – Genre = 4
Prepend minor tags with major = enabled
Grouping = dance, electronica, folk, hip-hop, …
If song has tags: dance, electronica, hip-hop, rap. We will get:
Grouping = dance
Genre = dance, rap
So we just lost electronica and hip-hop tags.

My solution for this: copy all Grouping tags to Genre tags, disable Prepend option, delete line 170:

  # Break becase every Tag should be faced only by one GENRE_FILTER
  break

6) If someone needs the same tags for album with one main artist and a few “feat artist” tracks, replace

 get_artist_tags_func = partial(get_artist_tags, album, metadata, artist, None)

on line 363 with

                if albumartist != "Various Artists":
                    get_artist_tags_func = partial(get_artist_tags, album, metadata, albumartist, None)
                else:
                    get_artist_tags_func = partial(get_artist_tags, album, metadata, artist, None)

P.S. Sorry for my poor english.

That looks like it would slow the plugin down many times for some artists which have dozens of aliases.

Is it somehow possible to swap major and minor tags?

I tried the groupings and genre inputs in the settings but I didn't really get the desired results.

Hi!,

I don't know if this is a bug or it just happens to me, but the 'mood' tags are not saved in .mp3 files, they are only saved in .m4a files. I had used several taggers like mp3tag, musicbrainz, foobar, etc, and nothing, they don't show up :(..

What could it be?

Thanks.

This plugin is positively awesome, so let me first thank you!

Now, I have a minor issue, related to "decade tags", such as "70s", "80s" and so forth.
I really like those and want to use them as minor genres, so I've added them to the appropriate list.

Unfortunately, when they get saved, the letter "s" in the tag is capitalized ("80s" becomes "80S"). I don't like that.

Can this behaviour be corrected in the plugin, or is it Picard which does capitalize the first letter of a tag no matter what?  (I suppose not.)

(BTW, adding a tag translation such as "80S, 80s" does not help.)

This is a great plugin and I'd really like to integrate it into my tagging so I don't have to do genres manually, but I'm having a couple of the problems that were described above by Prometey.  The main one is the one he listed as #6.  Whenever an album has feat. artists in the track artist, it sometimes fails to get tags for those specific tracks which kind of throws off the tagging for the album as the whole, since I'd like it to be as uniform as possible.

I tried his solution but it doesn't seem to work.  I'm thinking maybe it's not copying over right or something, because when I replace the line, the lastfmplus options disappear completely and it's not listed under plugins either.  Then when I change it back to the original line, it comes back.  Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
