    Thanks. As a workaround you can search the blog using Google like this:

    wav tagging site:blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/

    Replace "wav tagging" with whatever search you want.

    I'll try and get Grant to comment, but licence information is held encrypted on the home folder for the user running bliss. If this could be mapped to the Docker host this could work across restarts.

    The same thing happens for me, but if you refresh the page you should see the count has increased.

    Thanks, currently all file movements are relative to the root music folder path. But what you're suggesting is valid (of course, in the case where music files are in different folders, this won't help bring them back together).

    I clarified the title to describe the feature more generally.

    Note that this is now possible (although not very user friendly - you have to edit configuration files): https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2022/03/21/organising-compilations-with-rulesets/

    I merged the following idea from Bo Herrmannsen into this one:

    ---

    again not sure if it has been suggested but could be nice to have rules depending on what type of album i have....

    All my artist albums have the artist in album artist while my complications have the album artist field empty

    now for complications i want my folder structure: Album name/tracknumber. trackartist - tracktitle

    while an bryan adams album should be: Bryan Adams - XXXX /tracknumber. track title

    in itunes everything is set to complication so that it sorts the stuff right

    Thanks for that. I actually split the auto tagging out into a separate idea: http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/2290707-auto-tag-compilations . I hope this is ok.

    Yep, thanks for that.

    I'm actually thinking your case could work with http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/788647-the-ability-to-monitor-more-than-one-location-on-a and the ability to define different rule sets for different directories.

    Sure, I'll add that to the list.

    Yeah - we could also add support for a separate pattern for compilations which seems to be common for a lot of people.

    @Yves That's an interesting development of "duplicates" because it implies some level of duplication is permitted.

    Yeah - that's one way. In extreme cases (I always think in extreme cases ;-) ) there are also artists who, canonically, capitalise their names in weird ways that a regex cannot predict. Therefor some form on online lookup would be required.

    It's always a balance between canonically-correct and what-the-listener-wants...

    Nice - this needs to work alongside the capitalisation rules in some way.

    Ok, thanks for the explanation.

    This sounds like a mixture of different things.

    If we had rulesets (https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2017/08/01/ruleset-selecta/) - these are implemented for ignoring rules but the capability hasn't been made more general yet - you could have a rule for Christmas music (e.g. GENRE="Christmas") which had a different file path rule: "OFFLINE MUSIC/.../..."

    In addition we would need a way of poking iTunes: https://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/1449569-auto-update-itunes-when-bliss-has-changed-an-album

    AdminDan Gravell (Founder and programmer, bliss) commented  · 

    This is going to partly depend what you mean by "in and out of my library".

    Does this mean it just doesn't appear in iTunes?

    Or does it mean the files get relocated to a different folder?

    So it depends on what music software (and hardware) you use.

    I have spoken to the developer of Daphile before, but it's really down to him opening up the platform...

    In theory it should work without a huge amount of work.

    > tag every album that has the compilation tag with the same Various Artists title in the Album Artist tag.

    This has been completed as part of: https://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/2739754-automatically-complete-album-artist

    As implied by my comment:

    > Inferring a COMPILATION tag if the artists are different

    We could use the new local album tag sourcing as a way of doing the first part.

    AdminDan Gravell (Founder and programmer, bliss) commented  · 

    I just added correctness checking for compilation. This works in a different way to other correctness checking, in that if the setting is absent, we always look at linked releases anyway. If the linked releases say that this is definitely a compilation, a fix is suggested to change it so.

    This is a different solution to that laid out above, which is more of a "derived tag" solution, so I'll keep this open as it might have been that which people have voted for.

    Just a personal note that won't mean much to anyone else - this becomes a lot easier with recent work to deduce ALBUM ARTIST from existing tags. See LocalAlbumTagSourceHeuristics...

    Sorry - what do you mean by "Bliss uses tags that I can't see in other tag editors"?

    Something that just came to mind is that, once parsed, the information from file paths could be used to perform lookups for more data for that album. Just wanted to record that thought!

    An error occurred while saving the comment
    AdminDan Gravell (Founder and programmer, bliss) commented  · 

    I'm beginning to think this would be best implemented on the Untagged page, so that albums go through a staging process of only being allowed onto the "Albums" page once they are tagged.

    The disadvantage of this is that it forces you to have tags, but is that really a problem?

    An error occurred while saving the comment
    AdminDan Gravell (Founder and programmer, bliss) commented  · 

    I just realised that in a more general sense this could be used in bliss to merely identify music to the various rules, e.g. the cover art rule could use it for album and artist name information, and the art could be saved to file or embedded.

    Many other rules though would make no sense to use this with, e.g. file organisation. Therefore the applicability is limited.

    AdminDan Gravell (Founder and programmer, bliss) commented  · 

    Thanks for this. Overall, I'd prefer to go with the acoustic fingerprinting approach to tagging untagged files first. See http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/701338-automatic-song-identification-and-tagging-of-untag

    If that doesn't cover everything, this approach to tagging is till valid.

    Hi - can you explain what you mean by "synology servers, configured with HTTPS access" - are you referring to a setting in DSM?

    That's odd - if anything I tend to get comments that we over group!

    Can you click "Help" then "Download debug archive" and send it to us at support@blisshq.com with some example album names?

    The only thing I'd add is that because bliss is written for a different purpose than Plex et al (it's an organiser rather than a player) sometimes the way we present your library has to be a bit different. It might not be the case here, but in some cases Plex might go to lengths to group an album to make it easier to play, but bliss might want to show the album is split, to make it more obvious to re-organise. Hope that makes sense.

    Nice - there are probably some browser plugins that will do this for you. E.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/site-color-changer/ (for Firefox) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/change-colors/ageghplgcapnfpdhapeemolbmfccclke?hl=en (for Chrome).

    I guess an ability to "skin" the interface could be something... if you know CSS you can probably do something yourself with a browser plugin to override the CSS.

    Nice idea. Some people have large folders of assorted files and may only want to tag a subset of them.

    The untagged page *will* use external data. It uses fingerprinting to identify the music, and provide metadata. Assuming the fingerprints are found in the database of course!

    But the other issue - where existing tags aren't shown - is an issue. Co-incidentally I added this to the bug tracker the other day. I've linked this page with it so I can update this when we fix it.

    Yes - I think currently a custom tag might be shown, but all custom tags may be combined into one cell. E.g. a TXXX field.

    Makes sense - I can see how that would be useful for playback. I'm a bit surprised there's such a need for organisation of music, but life's full of surprises :-)

    Sounds nice, but quite complicated! Do you actually have a need for this? In most families I find there's one person responsible for organising the music, but maybe this isn't a family group?
