I don't manually manipulate tags anymore.Īfter much experimentation, I finally found the culprit, and fixed another problem I didn't know I had along the way.

In fact I also update them from time to time as the MusicBrainz database is updated. With a couple of minor scripting tweaks and ignoring genres, I accept all the tags it wants to give me, without any other checking. After a good 15 years of playing around, I started using MusicBrainz Picard for all my tagging needs. On a side note, I've travelled the road you are now on. You will very quickly hate your life if you ever try to do any kind of tag based scripting. If you end up missing one of the pair you may not notice the issue until well down the road.įor the love of GOD, do NOT use different separators for different tags. All of the players I can remember playing with either had an option to specify your delimiter or it was just fine with my semicolons. Possible they are there but when I play outside of MusicBee I just don't care as much about my tags because when I'm portable, I only care about Album, Artist, and Title. MP3Tag says that the universal separator is " / " (Note the spaces, they are important.) I use Semicolons and I've not seen any issues. Am I just hitting raw system limitations? I've been looking for an excuse to upgrade, but I am hoping to limp along for at least a few more months so I can buy at least second gen new OS. Any pointer on where to look are most appreciated. I'm sure I've done something odd but for the life of me, I can't figure out what. I fully admit that I may have caused most of these issues on my own trying to customize file locations, but damned if I can remember doing anything out of the ordinary. I restored an older version of my ini file and I don't see any lost information. I may not have a fully standard setup, but damned if I know what's really different. I was trying to clean up my file structure, and ran into an issue where MuscBee wouldn't start at all.

I have been unable to run a full backup for quite some time, but this is my current status. 18564D - System.OutOfMemoryException: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.Īt (String value, Int32 startIndex, Int32 length, Int32 capacity) In my search I didn't see anything specific to my issue. I get this message when I try to backup my tags (My current signature has been updated to reflect my current setup.) I can't believe my library is too big.
It takes much longer, but it works well.I've been having trouble backing up my tags for a while, but I just had a bit of a scare and feel like I need to fix it. Scanning is done on a file-by-file process, and uses each file’s audio fingerprint. Sometimes Picard’s lookup doesn’t work, and then you need to scan the files. Once you’ve clustered the files, you can either click “Lookup” or “Scan.” The difference is that a lookup is done on an entire cluster at once, and uses whatever existing metadata is already in the files to query the database. You then need to “Cluster” them, which divides them into sensible groups (by album, usually). The first step is to “throw” your files into the app–you can literally drag and drop them in, or do it with a built-in folder tree. Getting up to speed with MusicBrainz Picard can take a few moments. This makes for better results and less duplication. MusicBrainz lets users edit content, but other users must vote on it before it gets entered onto the database and served up in reply to queries. That means you can get ten listings for the same CD, or listings full of typos and strange capitalization.
Another issue is that both systems employ user-generated content with no filtering.
