Artist Top Tracks 1.5 - Updated 18/08/2012

[trixmoto]

As requested, this script processes all of the selected tracks and looks up the popularity ranking, playcount or number of listeners, based on the artist top tracks data from Last.Fm. You can select any field to store this data in and specify a prefix if using a string field.

As Last.Fm only returns the top 50 tracks for each artist, the track will either be given a rank from 1 to 50 or left blank. For my test library of 13k+ tracks, 77% were populated with a value. Because the data is cached for each artist, this process will generally speed up as it progresses, but there is a progress bar which shows the estimated time remaining.

As always, the installer is available to download from my website, the link to which is in my signature. And here is the code...

This is definately going to be added to my list of favorites. One question, if you run it again at a later date does it re-evaluate all the selected tracks for a change in ranking?

Nyn

[trixmoto]

Yeah, it does. It will only update the track tags if it has changed, but it does look it up again.

[Mythic]

Do you strip out punctuation before the lookup?

Example: http://www.last.fm/music/3OH!3/+charts? ... ype=tracks

Don't Trust Me (1)
Dont Trust Me (5)

My track is tagged with the ' yet your script marks it as top 5 and not 1?

[trixmoto]

I do a certain amount of fuzzy matching, yes. What you have highlighted though is that this script uses the lowest rank that matches instead of the highest, I'll fix this in the next version.

[Mythic]

Excellent, I look forward to the update

Could you also add the option for "pre-text" ? So I could have the comment as "LastFM - 1" or something.

One last thing .. what is the "field name" for the custom fields in MM? + Would it be possible to have the script save the number to a custom field and pretext and number to the comment? Strange request perhaps ...

CUSTOM FIELD 1 = 1
COMMENT = "MY_PRE_TEXT 1"

[fizzjob]

Could you also add the option for "pre-text" ? So I could have the comment as "LastFM - 1" or something.

"

If I send the output to a Custom field, then I can't sort properly because they're not integers, so I get 1,10,11,12...19,2,20...

[trixmoto]

@Mythic - I'm not sure why you'd want a prefix, but I can certainly look at adding this. The custom fields are "Custom1", "Custom2", etc. I think saving to multiple fields in this way is going to be difficult to define in an options sheet and very specific, but the script could be easier modified to do this.

@fizzjob - ah yes, I'll make sure I'm padding string fields in the next version.

[Mythic]

I'm loving this plugin!

When do you think the update to pick the top rated song will be ready?

Thanks!

[Mythic]

Sorry, I forgot to ask ...

Could the option between getting "last week" and "last 6 months" be available?

Will help with newer tracks not being picked up

[trixmoto]

Well I've got lots of other scripts on my list, but I'll try to get round to it as soon as possible. I'm not sure Last.Fm can return results from a specific time period though.

[juglar103]

"playcount" is more useful that "rank": with playcount you can compare songs of differents artists. can you include this option?

[trixmoto]

Yes, I plan to add this option in the next version.

[juglar103]

Bug:
Good Lovin', The Rascals, return rank 31, when it must be 14.

14: Good Lovin'
31: Good Lovin

[Superfrodo]

Works pretty good! Thanx

Only two suggestions:

(1) multiple artists
I use the multiple artist field so the artist is written as "Flotsam; Jetsam", and not as "Flotsam and Jetsam". Of course this isn't recognized.
Could you make it so that the "; " is replaced by " and " or " & " when you send it to last.fm?
Of course I could do this myself, but I think more people would like this.

(2) sorting
When I sort on the filled the Custom field, it is treated as text, not as a number.
Sor the sorting order gets: 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 with 12 tracks.
Is there a way in MM to fix this, or should a leading 0's get added?

Thanks in advance,
Grtz SuperFrodo
