This is neat. Thanks for the work you've put into this!

From what I gather, tag writing, i.e. which and to which field is defined globally only  (in " in server settings (biography.ini): [ADVANCED] heading' only) ? so it's not possible as is to quickly decide which of the tag fields ( + values for each field) get written on a given selection case-by-case ?

If that's the case - here's a feature request / feedback thing, in case you are after some:
I'm asking as, in especially some of the more popular releases, there's a lot of tags, many of which are repeats/different spellings or not suitable... also, imo Mood & Theme are somewhat subjective as well... so I would quite often, nearly every case I tested with so far... want to adjust which fields & values exactly get written on a 'write tags' trigger, i.e. pick the ones from the incoming tag cloud quickly that I agree with...
Not sure if that makes sense for others though.

Also, musicbrainz support would be awesome ;)
Again, potentially beyond the scope of this.

Churs.

@alec.tron

I'm for every new feature, but I do not know how much WilB wants to make more tagger from his biography script.
Now added, it does a hybrid, but it's related to biography.
For MusicBrainz I recommend foo_musicbrainz 0.3.9.

The only thing I miss now is the ability to get a composer/writer (or performer in my dreams) for a track (Discogs Tagger can do this, but it is unreliable for me). Getting it from AllMusic would be better (the second line, under the track name for composer/writer). However, this is not a tagger, so I'm grateful for what it allows now (but having an all-in-one solution would be nice...)

Thanks so much for the "tag writing feature". I'm glad I won't have to use my "involved" method anymore.
Face it WilB, it's gonna be tricky to find new ideas to improve your script now !

Maybe a nice idea could be to include a allowed genres or (and) forbidden genres... Beyond that, I have no idea what remains to be improved.

Well... i tried you're script and though it succeeded to tag few files, I had that error message :
"Quantificateur inattendu (= "unexpected quantifier")
File: <main>
Line: 902, Col: 37
<source text only available at compile time>".

Is there any information I can provide in order to find out what went wrong ?

Re: Biography Discussion

Maybe I tried to tag too much files at once (6000+). I tried again with "only" 2000 files and it seems to work this time.

I noticed a bug for the "tag writing" feature : when the tag is generated, quite often, there is an invisible additional special character at the very end.
For exemple if the tag is "Pop/Rock; Art Rock; Prog-Rock; Album Rock", the fist genres will be ok, but the last one will be diplayed in Foobar like this "Album Rock (...)"
I guess this unwanted additional special character is most likely "carriage return" or something similar.

Hi
can you help me (I do not find, I am a weak f2k user)....

How can I do that, so that information about the artist is taken from the field ALBUM ARTIST (not from ARTIST)?

Re: Biography Discussion

Reply #234 –
You should change line 189 :
{name:"%BIO_ARTIST%", tf:"$if3($meta(album artist,0),$meta(artist ,0))

anyone having issues with AllMusic Reviews?

Last.FM integration works fine, but when I try to force update AllMusic Reviews i get:

Code: [Select]
JScript Panel (biography v0.8.5.1 by WilB)
JavaScript runtime error:
Access is denied.

File: <main>
Line: 1497, Col: 125
<source text only available at compile time>

edit- alright apparently allmusic is blocking access to their reviews? because i'm trying to use alternate AllMusic review mods and i'm getting similar (access denied) errors

allmusic has switched to using https rather than http. After updating my own script it works fine. Having said that, mine wasn't crashing - it just showed a console error.

I have crash also.

Why, before reload I had JScript Panel (biography v0.7.4 by Wilb) ?
In C:\\Users\AppData\Roaming there is only v0.8.5.1.

Well I have no idea what you're talking about?? With WilB's scripts, you always paste the entire contents of the script inside the configuration window** and it doesn't use any external files. If you have files in your roaming folder, you must have saved them there yourself.

**all code pasted in to any configuration window gets saved as part of theme.fth if using default UI and configuration\foo_ui_columns.dll.cfg if using Columns UI. But you shouldn't ever open these files.

thanks. 2 quick edits and it works.

for anyone with problems, there's 2 instances of "http://www.allmusic.com/search/albums/" in Biography 0.8.5.1.txt

just change it to "https://www.allmusic.com/search/albums/"

Yes I saved myself these folders. Do you think I must delete them? I also have js_marc2003. I don't know where to place them! :)
But this does not explain why in previous crash It was showing biography v0.7.4 by Wilb

Re: Biography Discussion

Reply #243 –
Well no, you don't extract any files or need to save them anywhere. You simply paste the main script into the configuration window and that's it. You might keep the zip to re-import the script or check the readme but that's it.

New Version: JScript Biography 0.8.5.2

FIX: AM
CHG: Upgrade Tag Writer to 0.3 BETA. Now uses "UpdateFileInfoFromJSON" newly added by marc2003 that should be much better. Tag writing (SHIFT + right click) now requires JScript panel 1.3.0+
CHG: By default last.fm genre tags are now cleaned up before they're written. This aims to remove non-genre tags from last.fm top tags lists and sort spelling variances. Adjust parameters in "ADV.Last.fmGenreTag ..." in panel properties if required. Switch off clean up therein to write original top tags.

As tag writing is a beta feature, it's recommended to try tag writing on a representative set of files first to optimise settings & ensure it's working as required etc.

@redorb. You're welcome!

@alec.tron. I used an m-TAGS mirror copy of library to try out the different tags. I added the ability to easily create an m-TAGS mirror of library, or to just simply create m-TAGS, to JScript Library Tree. This runs the m-TAGS creator in batch style.

@YOGAM.

I couldn't reproduce either issue. Hopefully the issues should be resolved by the new "UpdateFileInfoFromJSON", which runs as a single process, and reworking of the match methods. If either reoccur, it would be helpful if you could post the info that's being read from example text files that cause the issue, whether they're custom made, corresponding artist/album artist/album names and the content of the problem tag if available.

@ADDVOiCE.

Shift + right click > menu > Sources > Server Settings > opens biography.ini
Under [NAMES] heading set %BIO_ARTIST% as required, e.g.
%BIO_ARTIST%=%album artist%
Save biography.ini & restart foobar2000

@WilB 
In foobar JScript Panel Configuration says @version "0.8.5.2"
JScript panel 1.3.0 is installed.
But in C:\Users\*****\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000\yttm\ biography.ini says version 0.8.5.1.
Did a reset and then imported the 0.8.5.2 version.
Everything works just fine and I can't tell if anything is broken.
Maybe just a typo?

Thanks for the update and best regards.
