v0.15.0: ask the song what it is
Right-click → Identify Track… fingerprints the file with Chromaprint's fpcalc and asks AcoustID who it is, then proposes the tags it found. The year is the point. A 60s song kept getting stamped with the year its CD reissue came out, which sorts the library wrong, so every candidate carries the recording's *original* year — the earliest release across all of its release groups — including the candidate that proposes a later greatest-hits as the album. Ranking separately prefers a plain studio Album over EP/Single over anything wearing a Compilation or Live secondary type, so the default proposal is the real album as well. Nothing is written until accepted: the dialog shows each current value beside an editable proposed one, and a row starts checked only where the proposal actually differs from what the file already has, so an untouched field can never quietly blank a tag. Applying goes through edit_track_fields, which is what buys the tag write, the abort-if-it-fails rule, artist/album file relocation and one undo step without re-deriving any of them. A selection is a queue reviewed one track at a time; a failure is a status-bar message that moves on rather than ending the batch. fpcalc is detected at runtime like ffmpeg and the AcoustID key lives in preferences (so it syncs, and stays out of git) — the round adds no new dependency. Also fixes a pre-existing round 40 test that used the real tummult mount point as its stand-in for an unreachable path, so it failed whenever that drive was plugged in.

|

|

Right-click → Identify Track…: Chromaprint fingerprint + AcoustID lookup, a
|
||||
proposal dialog, oldest-year-wins. Left on the table:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] **Batch identify without a dialog per track.** The queue reviews one
|
||||
track at a time, which is right for a handful and tedious for a hundred.
|
||||
A "fill only what's empty, above 0.9 confidence, no questions asked" pass
|
||||
would want the `plan_export()`-then-worker split from `export/exporter.py`
|
||||
(progress on the status bar, a cancel point) rather than the current
|
||||
one-at-a-time `_identify_next` chain, plus a summary at the end naming
|
||||
what it changed. Worth doing only if trav actually has a big pile of
|
||||
badly-tagged files.
|
||||
- [ ] **Fetch the cover in the same pass.** An identification hands back
|
||||
MusicBrainz release IDs, and the Cover Art Archive serves art by release
|
||||
ID — so a confirmed match could offer artwork without the separate
|
||||
artist/album text search that `art_search.py` does today. Needs
|
||||
`meta=releaseids` and a second endpoint; keep the deny-by-default
|
||||
"nothing is written until accepted" shape.
|
||||
- [ ] **Genre is still untouched.** AcoustID/MusicBrainz return tags, but
|
||||
they're folksonomy noise (dozens of overlapping user tags per recording)
|
||||
and iTunes-style genre is a single word. Deliberately skipped; revisit
|
||||
only with a mapping trav trusts.
|
||||
- [ ] **Tracks under ~3 seconds can't be fingerprinted** — Chromaprint returns
|
||||
"Empty fingerprint" and the status bar says so. Fine for music, would
|
||||
matter if the library ever holds sound effects.
