Auto Tag Cleaning: trim spaces, remove HTML encoding
Adding an option to clean the tags :
- Auto clean the spaces at the beginning and the end of a tag
- Identify tags with uf-8/Iso errors like instead of spaces or & instead of &, etc... and fix these.

I finally got around to writing up the find-and-replace rule for this: https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2019/02/13/find-replace-rule-fix-html-encoding/

Where do you see that problem? Please see http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/20164318-truncate-filenames-to-comply-with-file-system-limi .

Path length > 260 characters sometimes comes up as a problem for some albums in my server.

As mentioned in http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2015/11/17/new-release-20151110-aiff-wav-tagging/ it's now possible to drop a custom rule into a file for removing HTML encoding. I'm intending to write a blog post in a little while to describe how to do this. Once that's done I'll close and "complete" this idea.

It's a way of writing a rule which you save as a file in a well-known folder and bliss finds it then shows it in the settings. It's early stages (which is why I don't want to "officially" support it yet) but should work for this, possibly inelegantly at this stage.

Some sort of "search & replace" ? Sounds good!

The new beta (out next week) does have an interesting undocumented and unsupported feature (which I'll blog about anyway) where you can write your own rules using regular expressions. You could implement HTML decoding yourself using that... remind me and I'll provide an example.

Here's the trim rule work in progress: https://twitter.com/bliss_music/status/632573983179694080/photo/1

When you edit music in bliss the file will be re-written and that might clear any corruption. You might also want to read http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2012/10/16/mp3-repair-fixing-mp3s/ .
This is a bit off topic for this idea I think... See http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/2599926-the-ability-to-check-the-integrity-of-music-files

Hi. I just discovered bliss and it's now looking over my collection. I have one rather special need: Logitech Media Server's scan crashes when trying to read certain files. I know what the source of these files is, and I know that they contain both IDV3v1 and IDV3v2 tags, but I don't know exactly what it is about these tags that LMS has trouble with. But i do know that if I cut and repaste the tags using Mp3Tag, the problems disappears. Is there a way to tell bliss to do the same thing?

Fred, I edited the title to include the actual work to do... I like to keep these ideas easily measurable, and the title was arguably too broad to measure (just "Auto tag cleaning options") before.
