Classical Extras0.9.1

Classical Extras provides tagging enhancements for artists/performers and,in particular, utilises MB’s hierarchy of works to provide work/movement tags.All options are set through a user interface in Picard options->plugins.While it is designed to cater for the complexities of classical music tagging,it may also be useful for other music which has more than just basic song/artist/album data.
The options screen provides four tabs for users to control the tags produced:

  1. Artists: Options as to whether artist tags will contain standard MB names, aliases or as-credited names.Ability to include and annotate names for specialist roles (chorus master, arranger, lyricist etc.).Ability to read lyrics tags on the file which has been loaded and assign them to track and album levels if required.(Note: Picard will not normally process incoming file tags).
  2. Tag mapping: in some ways, this is a simple substitute for some of Picard's scripting capability. The main advantageis that the plugin will remember what tag mapping you use for each release (or even track).
  3. Works and parts: The plugin will build a hierarchy of works and parts (e.g. Work -> Part -> Movement orOpera -> Act -> Number) based on the works in MusicBrainz's database. These can then be displayed in tags in a varietyof ways according to user preferences. Furthermore partial recordings, medleys, arrangements and collections of worksare all handled according to user choices. There is a processing overhead for this at present because MusicBrainz limitslook-ups to one per second.
  4. Advanced: Various options to control the detailed processing of the above.
    All user options can be saved on a per-album (or even per-track) basis so that tweaks can be used to deal withinconsistencies in the MusicBrainz data (e.g. include English titles from the track listing where the MusicBrainz worksare in the composer's language and/or script).Also existing file tags can be processed (not possible in native Picard) or cleared without affecting cover art.

There is a processing overhead for this at present because MusicBrainz limitslook-ups to one per second.
  3. Genres etc.: Options are available to customise the source and display of information relating to genres,instruments, keys, work dates and periods. Additional capabilities are provided for users of Muso (or others whoprovide the relevant XML files) to use pre-existing databases of classical genres, classical composers and classicalperiods.

Fix Track Numbers0.2.1

  1. The title should contain something like '#-#' (number dash number) and be unique.
    All non-numbers and non-dashes will be removed when comparing the titles.
    This is especially useful for Language Audio Lessons, like this: For example, take the following titles and track numbers: The track numbers will be changed to: 1, 2, 4, 3
    The 3rd one will be changed to Track #4 because Lesson 1 < Lesson 10.
    The titles will remain unchanged.
  2. The track numbers will be set based on the sequential order they appear within the cluster.

How to use:

  1. Cluster a group of files
  2. Right click on the cluster
  3. Then click one:
    • Plugins => Fix track numbers using titles
    • Plugins => Fix track numbers using sequence

Unicode duplicated hyphen from ASCII as an unambiguous way to designate ahyphen from a minus whilst still being typographically indentical. Sincetext processing on music tags is rare so choice is purely pedantic esepciallyas keyboards only have HYPHEN-MINUS.

ReplayGain0.3

Calculate ReplayGain for selected files and albums.

This plugin calculates the ReplayGain values for Albums and / or Tracks.These values are stored in tags and music players use this informationto adjust the played volume so that all tracks have a similar volumeand you don't get tracks that you can barely hear and need to turn up the volume forfollowed by tracks with a mucg louder volume so that you are then deafened.

This plugin needs separate external executables to be run to calculate the replay gains.You need to download these executables and then configure the ReplayGain plugin inOptions / Plugins / ReplayGain with the path and filename of the executable.

As executables, they are probably best stored in a directory which is normally read-only for normal usersand requires administrative write access to store the executable (e.g. the Picard executable directory),but you can store them in the plugins directory if you wish.

Whilst this version works, it has some issues:

  • It doesn't work with file paths / names containing unicode characters
  • On Windows it opens an empty window whilst processing
  • Tags are stored directly in the files, are not displayed in Picard until the files are reloaded and will be overwritten if Picard saves the files
  • You need to add the replay gain tags to Options / Tags / Preserve these tags from being overwritten with MusicBrainz data (because Musicbrainz does not provide this data)
  • The tags written to the file may be non-standard (depending on the ReplayGain executable you use)

Windows

  • vorbisgain - Executable 0.37 inside zip file from https://www.rarewares.org/ogg-tools.php
  • mp3gain - Use AACGain from https://www.rarewares.org/aac-encoders.php#aacgain
  • metaflac - Download the latest flac-*-win.zip file from https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/xiph/releases/flac/ and extract metaflac.exe
  • wvgain - http://www.wavpack.com/downloads.html

You may also have some success using the Chocolatey package manager for aacgain, flac and wavpack.

Linux

  • vorbisgain - Build from source from https://www.rarewares.org/ogg-tools.php
  • mp3gain - Install aacgain using your package manager e.g. apt.
  • metaflac - Use package manager to get FLAC
  • wvgain - http://www.wavpack.com/downloads.html

Mac

  • vorbisgain - Build from source from https://www.rarewares.org/ogg-tools.php
  • mp3gain - https://ports.macports.org/port/aacgain/summary
  • metaflac - Install using 'brew install flac'
  • wvgain - http://www.wavpack.com/downloads.html
