Re: TheAudioDB
Would this be better than MusicBrainz/AcoustID?
I only work in black and sometimes very, very dark grey. (Batman)
Re: TheAudioDB
The problem is that this would require guessing any kind of search query from the filename, which is extremely difficult for random music files. MediaInfo uses embedded ID3 tags. AcoustID uses the acoustic fingerprint computed from the raw audio data. Neither is based on the file name.
Making sense of a file name doesn't really work, unless you already have a local database of all artists / album / song titles that you could just match against the file name.
