*[[User:Chrisjjj|Chrisjjj]] I would like a way to search tango.info for tracks by duration, for finding possible matches on an unidentified track held locally.
** Workaround: use open.tango.info .
 
*[[User:Chrisjjj|Chrisjjj]] I would like a way of searching track fields. [Search] currently doesn't search tracks.
 
*[[User:Chrisjjj|Chrisjjj]] I would like track tagging output to include optionally Collection name, Side Quantity (of the album) and Track Quantity (of the track's side). The presentation would be ideally user-choosable between:
*# none
*# within side/track e.g.
*#* %discnumber% = 2/4 (side 2 of 4) (compliant with WMA's mapped WM/PartOfSet)
*#* %track% = 1/20 (track 1 of 20 on that side) (non-compliant with but tolerated by WMA's mapped WM/TrackNumber)
*# separate field (from which the user could move the value using e.g. Mp3tag scripting):
*#* %customdiscqty% = 2
*#* %customtrackqty% = 20
** If only one were possible, I'd prefer the last - since it is the safest functional option.
 
*[[User:Chrisjjj|Chrisjjj]] '/' compatibility. tango.info tagging delivers in track data fields '/' in meanings other than multiple value separator. Writing that data to tags in ID3V3.2 format (which defines '/' as multitiple value separator) causes semantic misprepresentation.
 
*[[User:Chrisjjj|Chrisjjj]] '/' ambiguity. tango.info data uses '/' in many data fields with variable and undefined meaning. It would be good for the meaning to be defined. Assumed meanings observed include:
** literal e.g. ''Alfredo Gobbi (1947/1953)'' https://tango.info/00828766032123
** line break representor e.g. e.g. ''Los Provincianos (1931/1934) / Trio Ciriaco Ortiz (1931/1955)'' https://tango.info/search?q=00828767009421
** component separator e.g. ''https://tango.info/search?q=00828767009421'' Adiós Nonino/La Yumba
** alternative value separator e.g. ''La milonguita / La querida de Gardel'' https://tango.info/lxm071

'''tango.info''' is a multilingual [[argentine tango]] information service. If measured by [[Alexa Internet]] [[traffic rank]] [http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=tango.info] it is the second most important tango webstie after [[todotango.com]] [http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=todotango.com].
* https://tango.info/track/CayetDisar/1952-10-00/work.la_novia_del_mar
** should not show 1948 tracks


It is the only tango website providing that amount of tango information not only in [[english language|english]] and [[spanish language|spanish]] but also in 25 other [[language]]s. A unique feature is the open access to tango data in raw format for download and inclusion in other databases. This is helpful for tango collectionists as is the second unique feature, the direct title comparison. This cannot be found on any other tango website. Tracks of the same song are matched to see where a song was published else. A fair amount of tango music is reproduction of [[78rpm]] discs resulting in varying quality depending on the care that was taken during reproduction.

For all pages in the tango.info wiki starting with "tango.info", see Special:PrefixIndex/Tango.info.

Overview

https://tango.info is a group of websites (including this wiki) providing information on tango. The domain was bought in 2004 by Tobias Conradi, who provided tango information under the domain tobiasconradi.com before that.

News

See: Special:PrefixIndex/tango.info_news

Content

Coverage

The site offers the following data, marked with (d) if it can be downloaded at https://tango.info/opendata:

  • 1800 entries for people related to tango, such as teachers, poets, composers, musicians (d)
  • 470 entries for historical and upcoming tango festivals (d)
  • 10000 short title information, partially connected with the corresponding composer and poet data
  • 2000 entries for Tango CDs, partially with track info (d)
  • 15000 CD track entries, partially linked with the title information (d)
  • 1400 links to tango websites

For the quantity of links and festivals this website is the leading tango website.

Openess

At open.tango.info a direct access to the database is offered for free download of tango data. The website structures data wherever possible in compliance with ISO or W3C standards. Because this is also used in the URLs it allows users and other websites to easily link to tango.info or incorporate downloaded data somewhere else.

URL and data structure

The URLs are constructed in a way to allow relatively short links. Components of the URLs are the individual tango.info identifiers.

Software

tango.info runs with

  • Debian
  • PHP
  • Apache
  • MySQL

usage and reference issues

Influences on other sites

Following the 2005 creation of festivals.tango.info, La Cadena announced: ...since others -the current number two- do a better job at it, we shall soon stop updating this list. There´s no need to do double work... [1].

An effect of the dedication to standards is the switch of timegenie.com to UN/LOCODE and the latter now linking to Wikipedia country and city articles.

album browsing

E.g., this album page (CTA D'Arienzo, Vol. 5) https://tango.info/02480001030523 could provide links to Vol. 4 and Vol. 6, perhaps as arrows [<< | >>] shown after the album name at the top. The "|" could link to a "series page" as well.

This example, of course, assumes one would be navigating through the series of /D'Arienzo/ CTA albums = a subset of the CTA series. Perhaps the same device could be used after the pubcode, to enable navigation through the series as a whole.
