My 20th Anniversary edition is separate from my 30th anniversary - even though they are all called “Dark Side of the Moon”.īefore I had the MBIDs all my copies of Dark Side of the Moon would be mingled in one confused album called “Dark Side of the Moon”. This is also how I can have five different versions of Dark Side of the Moon sitting together. This is what KODI’s database then uses to key from. MBIDs to identify Album, Artist, Recordings. In summary - the main thing you are about to do is add MusicBrainz IDs to your music files. This is another reason to keep Picard away from your artwork.
KODI does have skins to spin your disks too. Thanks for answering I’m sure I’ll have more Q’s as I move into my project.
I suppose I could use Kodi to display that image instead… I guess I don’t need it to spin I used these in Foobar which had an add-on to ‘spin’ this image during playback to simulate an old-school record playing. In which case, I should be basically good to go already…Right?Īlso, I have really high-quality images of the disc for every album. Let Kodi scrape further for art, etc., and tell KODI to only use the art have in the folder of the album. First, get your tagging right with every album and song, and make sure Kodi creates the library accurately first. I’m guessing if I take my time with Picard, I can get much more detailed and accurate tagging going on than what I had, probably without much effort, as Picard uses existing information to figure out what the file is? This will be done I scan my library with KODI., right?ĩ5% of my library is already tagged decently to work great in Foobar. So, basically, I don’t even need to worry about writing complex scripts to make Picard use my album art. Some artists I got REALLY specific about the exactness and quality of file information, and the artwork… That’d be me about ten years ago when I digitized my whole library and tried to manually tag everything for Foobar. “…getting very lost in the exact pressing details of which manufacturer made my copy of Dark Side of the Moon.”Ī-Yep. I first came over here from KODI to tag a few CDs… five years later I am still here and now getting very lost in the exact pressing details of which manufacturer made my copy of Dark Side of the Moon. We’ll also have questions for you to get more details about how you organise your files. You then get the option to fully rescan the tags.Īsk questions - we’ll help. Walk to the branch you need and Add to Library from there. So let these get added to the album tags and leave them alone once in the tags.ĥ\ After updating tag, rescanning in KODI is easiest from File Mode. Then experiment and fine tune.Ĥ\ KODI is mainly going to look for the MBIDs for Release and Artist. So in the main OPTIONS menu untick Move and Rename options.īIG TIP - backup first. That last one especially now stops Picard from doing anything to artwork.ģ\ You probably also don’t want Picard moving or renaming files.
The text there is greek to me, and I don’t understand what the local files page is telling me in the guide. I know there’s a place called 'local files under cover art, and there’s a ‘regular expression’ I have to adjust to make it use my cover art, and only my cover art. Inside this would be: “01 song name,” “02 song name,” etc.Īfter all the songs, would be one or more images called: front.jpg, disc.png, back.jpg. The first thing I notice right off the bat is that I’m going to want to use my own images for cover art.Įvery folder is structured like this for example: D:/Music/ALBUM ORIENTED POP AND ROCK/311/1993 Music/ Secondly, I have tried a couple of test files using the"Quick Start" guide. So first off, I’m wondering if there’s a Picard guide for Kodi here, which goes beyond the basic one on Kodi’s site? But the time has come to switch to Kodi.Īnyone who uses Kodi knows it’s VERY particular.
