Tango.info track tagging

tango.info has metadata for many albums.

It provides tag data to the user via

• http://tools.tango.info/tagger0.5.php - for album-by-album tagging (TIN based)
• http://tools.tango.info/tagger1.0.php - for track-by-track tagging (TINT based)
  • Note: 1.0 is not back-compatible with 0.5 - it does not accept bare TINs.
• http://tools.tango.info/tagger1.3.php - work in progress
  • output is customisable

      • looks good
        • Stress test with 16819 lines was successful!
        • Documentation: tango.info tagger list of tag names 2009-09-01T12:12:24 (UTC)
        • Incompatibility with previous versions: %artist% orch-voc separator changed
          • from ", " to ", voc: "
          • No workaround known. Replace format string "%artist%" with "%track_orch%, %track_voca%" generates incompatible ", -"
      • Needed is
        • statement of tag names' source tracks.csv fields
      • Desired is
        • Formalisation of interface for other pages (e.g. Mp3tag export output) to call by FORM ACTION
      • "Tag list" label is missing!
      • http://tools.tango.info/tagger1.3.2.php?input= fails! e.g. http://tools.tango.info/tagger1.3.1.php?input=http://chrisjj.com/tango/cjjsets/2010-01-29_Carablanca.html
        • Workaround: use http://tools.tango.info/tagger1.3.1.php?input=
• http://tools.tango.info/tagger1.3.2.php - work in progress
  • Chrisjjj
    • Breaks back-compatibility of usage as FORM action: argument textarea with name 'input' now ignored
      • Workaround: change parameter textarea 'input' to 'track_references'

How to tag your music files from tango.info data

These procedures label the files of your computer-based music library with metadata (track name, artist, genre etc.) from tango.info.

There's a choice of two procedures:

• solo tagging - does one album at a time
• mass tagging - does multiple albums (e.g. your entire library) in one go.
