Finger printing is based on matching certain parts of the audio, such as beats. Although it might not make the first release, DeDup will use a 2nd fingerprint at the same time, reducing considerably these false positives.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

I use PerfecTunes beta6c mainly for album art. Very useful. Initially, it was stated: "This beta will timeout in December 2012." Is time-limit still applicable ? Thanks for any clarification, adca1

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Have tried de-dup serveral times. This is a very nice tool.

Removing duplicates is very easy.

Removing "possible matches" is difficult.
- sometimes matches are (as far as i can see) based on duration of the track
- i'm not sure the mentoned bitrate is vbr or not
- often tracks only seem to be different on duration
- fortunately (almost) identical tracks with typing mistakes in artist of trackname are are matched

I am wondering if an indicator/rating of the technical quality (bitrate, noise, frequencie range etc etc) can be calculated to help choosing me which one to delete.
I realise this is dangerous because when a source is poor the technical quality can be good.
I now listen to the first minute of each track with my headphone on. When the sound identical i will choose to delete the one with lowest rating

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Are you able to send me one of those albums? But first make sure the disc number is the same for all tracks on the album, and the album name is the same also.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

after playing around with this for a bit, 8 of my albums are listed as "Cannot Check: Not in AccurateRip" whereas using foobar2000's verifier plugin, they verify with AccurateRip just fine.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Spoon maybe you should set a timelimit before first post, to avoid spam :-)

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

- Don't scan entire music collection on first start; possibily ask user what is the default folder before starting

- Allow "fix all" also for the entire track list, not only for the tracks missing arts or those arts not matching the proper criteria

- Fix possible exceptions such as AC/DC (currently tagged as AC;DC will lead to an artist called AC)

- In the results windows, add a "Stop" button to halt cover art search

- You could add a maximum results text box

- On 2 seconds mouse over, show a 1:1 preview of the image; handy to verify before inserting; wonderful if you could place side by side current art and previewed art!

- Add "Rescan All" & "Rescan" (per track) button (avoids exiting the program to refresh list)

- On demand, disable the smooth scrolling

- Enable drag and drop from Windows Explorer. Drag a track into perfect tunes window. Handy when only a few tracks are outside of the Music Library, without adding temporary folders to the Library

- Add multiple cover arts support: very often you may choose from front to back cover or disc image; if multiple covers are present, you could allow multiple covers management (with descriptions)

Of the above feature requests, will there be any of them that will be implemented?

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

We will do when able to.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Perhaps they were ripped with different lengths, hence why AccurateRip cannot find the disc. For one which you re-rip check the number of samples in each file, before and after.

Thought I'd beg on my knees for an export function of the lists "Albums Cannot Check" and "Albums Not Present in Accuraterip". Export of just the text as shown on the screen in the program, that is: the artist, cd and error message. Please please, pretty pretty please? :-D

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

I do not think this is wise, as Windows can add libraries from network locations automatically (for example if using WHS), people might not be aware they are changing files not locally.
