Tagging Inconsistencies 3.9.4 (2009-01-10)

I don't think I feel confident enough to do this.... a TI update to solve this would be greatly appreciated!

ok, but you may be waiting a long time, this issue came up months ago and Bex has not had the time to fix it yet....

I would love to see this script updated. I think it is one of the more valuable MM scripts.

[MusicBringer]

Me too
Without doubt one of the more valuable scripts.

I've noticed a strange error in TI: 14 Albums show up under "Some tracks misses album art", whereas these tracks in fact do have album art. I've tried everything: re-add album art, delete albums from library and re-add etc. No succes.
By accident I discovered a common aspect of all these albums: they consist of music tracks, but they have 1 or a few tracks which are clasified as audiobook.
This error does not occur for albums which are entirely audiobooks.
Is this something I can correct myself or is this an error in TI?
Regards, Willy

Hello,
I have a lot of "Empty" album art in MM, ie the popup window for a file displays links to nowhere as pic 3, 4 etc.
Is there a possibility to tidy this up using TI?
Cheers ohneland

Actually, it probably has to do with the fact that in MM4, the way the times/dates are stored for plays was changed. They're now saved as UTC times (or whatever) and then in a second column, the offset for your current time zone is saved. However, I don't think the dates/times in the Songs table (LastPlayed, DateModified, etc.) are saved like this. Thus, TI probably needs updating to account for this, instead of a simple column to column compare.

I would love to see this script updated. I think it is one of the more valuable MM scripts.

Any chance that this script will be updated, please.

This is the main reason I am a MM die hard. This needs to come back, I will send $$$ if necessary!

Thanks to gpzbc I found this incredible usefull addon from Bex!
Finally I have the possibility to find all the extremely hard to detect inconsistencies like
"Number inconsistiencies" (1 GIANT LEAP <> ONE GIANT LEAP, 5TH DIMENSION <> FIFTH DIMENSION <> THE FIFTH DIMENSION, 3 6 MAFIA <> THREE 6 MAFIA <> THREE SIX MAFIA...)
"FirstLastName inconsistencies"
"THE inconsistencies"
but also the multiple Genre entries, like
"Node vs Track Case inconsistencies"
"Few Tracks"
and all the other not yet used nodes...

You can't imagine how many inconsistencies you will find even in your "perfect library"!

Now that Bex is back, I'm hoping too, that some of the flaws mentioned in this thread will be fixed.

Thanks!

I'll look into this script soon and make an update which works better with MM4. It might take a while though....

[gpzbc]

Thanks! We will be looking forward to it.

[MusicBringer]

Thanks! We will be looking forward to it.

Hear! Hear!

Bex,

I know you have been very busy but I was just wondering if you had any time to work on this wonderful script?
Thanks.

I'm not sure what else could be done with this script, except maybe some more polishing... but I'd certainly like to see another update from this script too.

[gpzbc]

We were hoping Bex could update it to make it a little more compatible with MM4. If you read back a couple of pages you can see the exact incompatibilities.

So I've got a bit of an annoyance going on. This script is one component to the problem, it also involves the Add/Remove Playstats script, and probably some Database integrity issues. The trouble I'm having is, I consistently have 20 tracks showing in the "LastPlayedDate <> LastPlayHistoryDate" node. Running the "Set LastPlayedDate to LastHistoryPlay" function of the Add/Remove script doesn't even find these 20 tracks, let alone have an affect.

This may boil down to an integrity issue with my Database, as it's been with me for quite a while. It has information dating back to at least 2007, however I believe I actually started a new database at one point and then imported the played and playlist information with the use of one of Z's scripts. It's been through several Alpha and Beta cycles, including the "Offset" introduction. So this may be the root cause of my issue.

However, the Add/Remove script isn't finding the issue while this script is, which seems a little strange. Got any ideas on how to fix the discrepancy in my DB?
