PerfectMeta Discussion

Re: PerfectMeta Discussion

I pulled out the disc "Into the Mix II" that I had used for my original proposal mock-up:



Here is the PerfectMeta default retrievals for the first 3 tracks:



I don't think PerfectMeta performed very well on this particular disc (though in general it does quite well). The algorithm seems to weight AMG to highly. Maybe some additional code could account for AMG's tendency not to include sub? titles (the part of the title in (... ), or items like "..."). GD3 seems to default to use [ ] instead of ( ), and perfectmeta would ideally understand this. Anyway, here are the meta results that best match the meta on the album:

Re: PerfectMeta Discussion

The more I play with PerfectMeta the more it seems to much weight is placed on AMG. I am finding, time and again that MusicBrainz is a little better then GD3, and both of these tend to more consistent with the correct album meta data then AMG. AMG does have MORE data in fields that neither of these have.

I have finally gotten around to playing with PerfectMeta - and so far I am very impressed.

Some initial comments:

-would like to see meta data pulled from multiple freedb choices

-it would be nice if each field in the PerfectMeta screen was not only editable, but dragable. I have come across a few examples now where there is correct data, but assigned to the wrong field and it would very nice to just drag the data to the correct field

-option to always show the PerfectMeta screen

-in the CD ripper window, option to show a confidence indicator next to meta-data

-right click menu on meta data should include alternate meta-data options from PerfectMeta

[BUG]When meta data is changed in PerfectMeta is does not refresh in the main screen until clicking in the meta data window at the bottom

I am sure there will be more. Thank you again.
