Can the file browser recognize compilation albums (e.g. a tag like Album Artist) when it scans in ID3 tag mode so that it doesn't return 20 albums instead of one?

No. I did look into this back in version 0.13, but while the Foobar library has the %album artist% titleformatting value for this, there appears to be no standard ID3 tag for compilation albums.

Alex

You could check for the ALBUM ARTIST tag in the files, it's very common among foobar users. It's also the same name for all tag formats.
I've checked if mediainfo can read it. At least the GUI shows the tag, although on mp3 it cuts the first 3 letters of TXXX frames, but I mailed the author, he has already fixed the issue.
Of course I don't know if the DLL returns all tag fields, but maybe you can give it another look.

The TXXX ALBUM ARTIST tag appears to be a foobar specific thing. Other media players use the BAND (TPE2) tag, or a TXXX ALBUMARTIST tag (no space), and I've even heard that WMP 11 stores the Artist as the ID3v1 artist tag and Album Artist as the ID3v2 artist tag. There may be other schemes too. The problem is that there appears to be no standardisation at all, and for the File Browser I can't assume that the tags were written by foobar2000.

Hi Alex,

I have been working with File Broswer and it works like a charm! Thanks for your effort! To improve my results, I would like to know if it is possible, to exclude information which may disturb some search results.

My file-scheme for example is "E:\Musik\mpc\Alice Cooper\[1999] Life And Crimes Of Alice Cooper CD 2"

Is it possible to exclude the Year: "[1999]" and the Volume: "CD 2"? Without these information the results are mostly better. Is this possible and how?

Another question is , how to improve results at albums with various artists? These albums are displayed as "Various" in the "Artist"- naming field of Album Art Downloader. Are there better results if I use other terms than Various?

Thanks for your help

I have just now discovered your tool.  It is absolutely, hands-down, the best, most complete tool I have used bar none for covers.  Every aspect of it has been well-thought out, from using tags or dire structure, size of the existing image, etc.etc.etc..  I am so impressed, I can't stop smiling!  You have saved me immeasurable amounts of time in scanning or searching the web for covers!!!!

ThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyou!!!!!!!

So, do you have a paypal link?  There are few programs out there that deserve it more....

Yes, this is possible. Try:
Code: [Select]
\mpc\%artist%\"(\[\d{4}\] )?"%album%"( CD \d+)?"\*

That assumes that both the date the CD number are optional, but that all music is under \mpc\... If either of those assumptions are wrong, it will need tweaking.

I would guess that would depend on how the source being searched has classified them. You might try just searching for the album name without anything in the Artists field, that will probably work for most sources. The file-scheme can be tweaked to make the Album come out blank when the folder is Various like so:
Code: [Select]
\mpc\"(Various|%artist%)"\"(\[\d{4}\] )?"%album%"( CD \d+)?"\*

Thanks for your kind words! It is really great to know when my work is appreciated, but I've also got to acknowledge my own debt of thanks to the residents of this forum who have suggested many of those features, and helped me track down bugs when they've appeared.

I hadn't set up a paypal link - it was something I was considering if I ever got round to putting together a proper website and documentation for a 1.0 release. But, as you specifically ask, any donation will be gratefully received here: Paypal Donation

Hi Alex,

Album Art Dowloader has grown from strenth to strength -it's definitely the best tool I have found.

As the new owner of a HTPC I wonder wether you have ever looked at adding DVD covers as an additional capability? The concepts involve seem very similar to me.

Thanks, David.

Hey everyone. Hoping to get some guidance here...
I've used the original Album Art Downloader up until now but finally decided to try this out. Got net3.5 all installed and then this (version 0.14) but now when I load the executable I just get a properly titled black window. I can resize it... if I move the mouse around the cursor changes to text input or hyperlinkink cursors.. but... nothing I can do.
HALP plz!

There's no particular reason why DVD covers can't be found using this tool, it all depends on the source. For something like Google Images, they'll be returned already. Other more specific DVD cover sources could be written too, which in some cases might just be a modification of an existing script.

I don't think there's any equivalent to ID3 Tags for DVD's, but the folder browser using path pattern matching would still work.

Sorry, Ryran, but this is a complete mystery to me. I've searched around and found no likely explanations, so I can't give you any suggestions on what might be causing this or how to fix it.

An idea is to show the size of existing albumart in pixels instead of in kb in the file browser, that makes more sense to me at least.

Great program this, thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, but this would require each existing image to actually be loaded from disk, resulting in a considerable decrease in performance. The current system does not need to actually load the image files to display the file size.

A very simple request:  Tab and Shift-Tab highlight the previous entry (as it once did).  That way you don't have to manually delete the old entry, but can simply start typing.

That said, awesome program!

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking for here, could you be more specific? If you could tell me in what state the program is (including where the focus is, if you can tell) when you click Tab or Shift Tab, what it actually does, and what you expected it to do, I can probably fix this.

What I mean is if you're in the Artist field and Tab to the Album field, the previous album in that field is already highlighted, so you can simply type over it.  Conversely, if you're in the Album field and Shift-Tab back to the Artist field, the old artist in that field is already highlighted.

I don't know your native language, so if that's not clear, I can provide images to explain better what I mean.

It's not a big deal.  It just saves a little time manually deleting the old info already in the field.  It used to work that way (at my request), but somehow got changed somewhere along the line.

Thanks.

From the error report, it appears that Album Art Downloader was unable to determine the correct file extension for an image format. I can fix it so that it won't crash in this case (and I will do, for the next version), but it would be really useful if you could let me know which album, artist and image source it came from. That way I can figure out what image format it is, and why it wasn't detected correctly.

Oh, I get it! I thought it was Tab not going to the right control - but it is going to the right control, just not selecting all the text in it. I'll make that change for the next version.

AlbumArt Downloader XUI v0.15 Released

Mostly bug fixes in this release, and a couple of minor improvements that have been requested. I've also improved the reporting of x64 issues. I don't have a 64 bit copy of Windows, so no testing has been done on that platform, but the default behaviour should no longer be to crash. Instead, you should be requested to install the 64 bit version of the MediaInfo dll. The installer should also automatically detect Win64, and offer to take you to the download page for an installer for the x64 version of MediaInfo.dll that I've put together. The reason I haven't just bundled both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of the dll in the main installer is that this dll is the largest part of the download already, and the 64 bit version is double the file size.

Also in this release I've refactored the Amazon search scripts into one common script and several optional regional variations. If you are using the installer, the you can just pick any of the regions (.com, .co.uk, .jp, etc...) to install. If you are using the zip file, then make sure amazon-common.boo is present, plus one or more of the other Amazon scripts, like amazon-com.boo, for example.

For those who are interested in scripting, these scripts now demonstrate the XUI object oriented script API of implementing the IScript interface. The amazon-common.boo script implements an abstract class which the other, minimal Amazon scripts inherit from - demonstrating one of the benefits of the object oriented approach.

List of other changes for this version:
  • Fixed bug with images whose formats can not be determined
  • Artist and Album text boxes now select their contents when tabbed to
  • Added Copy command to context menu for album art results
  • Upgraded to MediaInfo version 0.7.6.1
  • Fixed bug where closing foobar browser without com automation server installed would cause a crash.
  • Improved single instance mechanism robustness
Download:
AlbumArtDownloaderXUI.exe (Installer. Recommended)
AlbumArtDownloaderXUI.zip (zip archive for those who don't like installers)
.NET Framework 3.5 (required)
AlbumArtDownloaderXUI-MediaInfoX64Upgrade.exe (x64 version of MediaInfo - must be installed if you are running a 64 bit version of Windows)

Thank you for a great and very handy tool.

I recently found some quality images at Album Art Exchange

I thought I might take a crack at writing an albumartexchange.boo script.  I figured I could use the google.boo  as a starting point, but it was not long before I realized that I have no idea what I am doing.

With the acknowledgment that every web page will present the thumbnails and images slightly different, has anyone put together a general guideline for writing a script?

To be honest, although I would like to write the script myself, unfortunately, I think even with some pointers I will not be able to get a working script.  If someone more capable has the time and thinks a new script for the Album Art Exchange site would be a good addition, I would be very interested in seeing a working script.

Thank you again for a great tool,
Brian
