Use audio fingerprint (PUID) when perfectmeta sources don't agree

[EliC]

When perfect meta-sources vary significantly on the artist and/or album, which is often (nearly always) the case one discs with only 1 track, dBpoweramp should use accoustic fingerprinting to match the song(s) to MusicBrainz. Of course AMG has Lasso, but this is not likely to be free.

We tested and the accuracy of such a system was not great.

Interesting to hear that you looked at it. Did you try PUID or Lasso, or both? If it can only identify the artist, then compare that back against the various results from perfectmeta it could tell you which to choose.

Spoon, just curious, when you tested this what it as a primary identifier or a backup identifier?

Primary

Thanks. I was really suggesting it as a backup method for when the primary method fails, as often happens on discs with 4 or fewer tracks (90+% of the time with single track discs). This could be triggered when there is extreme disagreement between the sources.
