Genre Finder 5.0 - Updated 05/08/2012

Hey thanks,

that was quick. It almost drove me nuts...

[Blutarsky]

Ciao, while I appreciate very much what this script does, I'm wondering if there will be an opportunity to have "fine grade" genre tags....

LastFM seems using the same "basic" genre tags as iTunes.....

For example, Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough", is automatically tagged as "Pop" in iTunes, while in Wikipedia is described as "Disco, funk, pop".....

What do you think?

[trixmoto]

Well if you had a blacklist that excluded "80s" and "70s" and allowed multiple values then this script would return "Pop; Dance; Funk; Soul; Party; Disco...." - that's pretty close to wikipedia isn't it?

[Blutarsky]

Humm.... am I missing something? Maybe I've missed how the plugin works?

[trixmoto]

Have you tried playing with the settings?

Have you tried playing with the settings?

Is there any tutorial?

[trixmoto]

Well I'm not really sure what a tutorial could tell you. Read the settings, they're all pretty self explanatory. When setting up the lists to control the values that are selected and for which field(s) there is a "help" button in top right which explains all the rules.

I love this script (thanks trix) but I'm a little confused about how the lists work. Basically I'm wondering if there's a way to combine genre's...here's an example that I recently ran into:

I have the script setup to tag up to 3 genres, so I had a artist's genre come up as Hip-Hop, Hip Hop, Rap. Is there a way to make a rule that would combine the two hip-hops and continue to search for a third?

Thanks!

"Hip%Hop=Hip-Hop"

"Hip%Hop=Hip-Hop"

perfect -thanks

I have a couple of questions about the Genre Finder script:

First, the GF Help information available on the options screen says that a white or black list can be loaded from a file. I tried this in several ways and can't get it to work. Is there some advice on how to make this work correctly?

And second, I would like to have some way to have GF use the current values in a field as a black list, so, for example, I could run GF 1st in artist mode stored into the genre field, then run it a 2nd time in album mode stored into the Mood field, with no duplicate genres between the 2 sets of results. Is that possible to do? My alternate idea here is to make a RegExp Find and Replace node to detect duplicate values in the genre field, but my RegExp coding skills are quite primitive, and even then all that would do is find the duplicates, not remove them.

And, as always, big thanks to trixmoto and other script developers for your outstanding scripts!

1) White, @C:\whitelist.txt

2) Black, *Genre <--- EDIT: Actually I don't think this works - I'll put it on my list for the next version.

[auburnrose55]

Trixmoto - thanks for your quick reply.

RE (1), OK, sorry, that was a cockpit error on my part, I got it working

RE (2), I tried what you suggested anyway (2 rules in the Update lists windows: Mood, None, <blank>; and Mood,Black,*Genre), you were right, it doesn't work. And thanks for planning to add this as a feature in the next version!

[trixmoto]

Originally it only made sense to allow the automatic list for a whitelist (as you wouldn't want to blacklist all of the values in the field) but when I allowed you to build the automatic list from another field I didn't think to allow that for blacklists - it will be added.

Guys, I am stuck.
Could someone instruct me about using This plugin?
