On the other way, if you want to update your files according to the metadata you edited on Ampache, you can enable write_id3 but be careful about this feature as it write on your files at each metadata change (better to do a test with a small mp3 set first).Home of the compulsive music collectors who are looking to expand, archive or organize their music library. ![]() You just have to update your catalog once your files updated with correct id3 metadata. ).Īmpache is using the folder structure as a fallback if your metadata doesn't contains enough information (or if you disabled id3 in the metadata plugin list). Having the possibility to publish metadata from Ampache to Musicbrainz would be awesome, but that's a lot of extra work just for publishing and I'm not even sure this is possible through their API ( only talks about a limited set of data you can push like rating. Moreover everybody is using the default Musicbraine server and almost never setup a custom mirror. I was thinking about emulating musicbrainz api to be considered as a Musicbrainz server but this doesn't make much sens as a musicbrainz server should normally contains the complete database. I hate to say it, but it would almost be better if support for wav files was just dropped outright, then a person would not try to do something that is basically not easily possible. Might as well skip that step and just convert them straight to 160-192kb mp3 and be done with it. One of those file types is basically useless for anything except archiving, and the other still needs to be transcoded to stream. It would also reduce a lot of issues with transcoding difficulties.įor converting, it really doesn't make much sense to convert lossless wav to lossless FLAC just to maintain two lossless file sets which could double terrabytes worth of data storage. It would save a lot of trouble and a lot of questions for support if this were out there, somewhere. I have deleted and reinstalled my catalog at least six times now, which is weeks worth of work. If I had known when I started ripping 500-600 cds that wav files were nearly useless in any other database except a Microsoft Windows Media Player database, and I would need to convert them to mp3 to use them effectively, I probably would have not wasted my time with Ampache until I had converted my music file system in an Ampache/Musicbrainz friendly format. I think a lot more people would be a lot less intimidated out of using musicbrainz, ampache, etc., if there was a clear explanation (a FAQ, for instance) that spelled out what you needed to do in advance to prepare your music for inclusion in a database of this kind. ![]()
