Hello everybody, and thank you Stevehero for your wonderful Beatport script i'm using since many years now.

I have to ask you a question anyway.
Since many months, when i'm using your script and after mp3tag has autotagged the cover from my mp3s with the 500x500 cover from Beatport, all the covers disappears under Traktor Pro.
If I put the files on Rekordbox, no more cover, and the same on a USB key on Pioneer CDJ.

If I'm keeping the original files even with a 1400x1400 jpg cover, it appears with no problems on Traktor etc...

Is there a bug on mp3 tag or... what ?

It's a big problem for me

Hope you have the solution !

Thank you for your help...

Check whether the files that show pictures have them embedded or as separate files in a folder.

Also, check the "Utils" button in the web sources results dialogue (bottom left) whether you embed the pictures and/or save them in the file system. Modify the settings according to your findings of the first check.

Is there a bug on mp3 tag or... what?

No. That is, if you ensure the tags are saved in MP3tag.

Is sounds like a caching and/or database problem for the artwork in each respective app is causing it.

You'll be safer asking on those apps forums.

[sharpouze]

Thank you for your answers

I have to precise that I do not add cover files in separate folders and that as soon as files are tagged, covers appear well into Winamp, Windows Media Player, on Itunes or my IPhone...

It is very strange that even on a Pioneer XDJ 1000 MK2, cover do not appear !

I've changed the language to English to see where you told me to check... i'm still looking lol

[sharpouze]

I just found the problem guys

The jpg cover art that come from Beatport URL are never recognised by Traktor Pro, or Rekordbox, or Pioneer XDJ.
If I put another jpg from another site, all is OK.
Even on a 1400x1400 size.

What do you think about that strange thing ?

[stevehero]

Once the artwork is embedded it should show up. Like I said It sounds like a traktor database issue. Ask over on the NI forum is your best bet.

I was one of the earlier posters in this thread years ago but lost/forgot my account details here so I decided to quickly make a new one. I (once again) want to say thank you so much for creating these actions/scripts.

For some reason about a year ago they completely stopped working for me and I ended up letting my music collection get messy and unorganised to the point where I was starting to lose interest in searching for new music as my library was just becoming a complete mess and headache to sort out.

I randomly decided to check back today to realise it's actually working again but even better this time!

Now it tags everything I want and adds the album catalog numbers automatically without me having to do two separate processes, so thanks for creating and maintaining these actions/scripts, they've proven to be invaluable to me over the years.

Cheers stevehero and everyone else who have helped support/maintain this.

@stevehero
The search engine of your script does not work correctly when I try to search using the tag "ALBUM" of the track, on the tag"ALBUM" have PATTERN SERIES COMPILATION, he looks for him PATTERN PILATION, it happens with lot albums when I try do searches, I use the Mp3tag program v2.85 and its script Beatport by &stevehero v4.2#RELEASE Search by Relea&se.

That's by design. The "Compilation" keyword would return too many other unfavourable results. Also words like EP and others are removed. Do you not get the desired album when you click next here. Try it. It may still work.

I don't have a computer to fix this atm. I'll look into it when I do.

@stevehero
I would like you to search by the full name of the album, try with this album you will see how what I say is true.

Open up that problem script in any text editor and replace the line

[SearchBy]=[ RELEASE for RELEASE ]$trim($regexp($regexp($regexp(%album%,'\b-\b|_', ),'(?i)\[.*\]|cd\s*\d*|[^\s]+.com|\bep\b|feat\.|ft\.|\bom\b|\boriginal\b|\bclub\b|\bmix\b|\bremix\b|\bthe\b|vinyl|web|www[^\s]+|[^\w\s]',),'\s+', ))

With
[SearchBy]=[ RELEASE for RELEASE ]%album%

@stevehero the script only support 100 tracks to tag at once? I tried to tag an album wich has 142 tracks and it only show 100. It is a bug? Thank you

[stevehero]

In the scripts change line:

while "<<startTrack>>" 99

To something like:
while "<>" 199

Hey guys!

First of all: Thank you very much, stevehero, your scripts are awesome!
I've used them for like a thousand times at least by now.

Secondly, I have a question: Is there a way to tag files with a "list" like a Top 100 or DJ Chart with the script?

For example

https://www.beatport.com/genre/drum-and-bass/1/top-100

or

https://www.beatport.com/chart/burning-sun/451846

Thanks in advance!

No need to reply twice. The old beatport script is fine and no different than the data on the classic. Well apart from beatports terrible genre tagging.

You can open the script and read the text in that to do the majority of the things you want.

Read the first post. It explains how to install notepad++ and use a style sheet to easily read the scripts. Open the script and search through for the keywords that you want and there's settings and an explanation of how to change each of them.

I just spent few hours i cant get date in format DD-MM-YYYY format and is so, it comes like that :
1301//13-01-2017

and track number is 2and etc. but never 1

but if you have some time and you can do that for me even if just for http://classic.beatport.com/
remove discnumber
Track number always set to 1
remove INITIALKEY/Key Value
remove description on beatport
DD-MM-YYYY format
Replace " (OM)" to (Original Mix)

1301//13-01-2017
and track number is 2and etc. but never 1

Redownload the script again because you should not be getting the problem with 2and etc. with the TRACK no. which should fix that issue.

Then Open up Beatport by &stevehero v4.2#RELEASE Search by Relea&se.scr from the script folder as the script you want to modify in notepad++. Best install that and the custom style sheet from the starting post here to view it correctly and make it easy on the eyes. Editing these in notepad is eyeball torture.

So, to get the date as you want it DD-MM-YYYY (even though that's not the correct format) I have that as an option on line no. 106 of that script. You can view the line numbers if you used notepad++.

Remove the # from the start of that line to look like this to enable this option:

regexpreplace "(releaseDate":")(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)" "$1$4-$3-$2"                   # YEAR in DD-MM-YYYY format

@banfy_sk

remove discnumber
remove INITIALKEY/Key Value
remove description on beatport

To remove these at the very bottom of the script you'll see

# set "DISCNUMBER"            # EXTRA FIELD
# set "INITIALKEY" 
# set "UNSYNCEDLYRICS"        # DESCRIPTION ON BEATPORT

Change them to (Removing the # at the beginning of each line)

set "DISCNUMBER"            # EXTRA FIELD
set "INITIALKEY" 
set "UNSYNCEDLYRICS"        # DESCRIPTION ON BEATPORT

@banfy_sk

Replace " (OM)" to (Original Mix)

See line no.255 for the (OM) change.
Simply, change this line:

    replace " (Original Mix)" " (OM)"                                                            # Replace " (OM)" to your liking, block this with # to keep original setting

To (adding # at the start):

#    replace " (Original Mix)" " (OM)"                                                            # Replace " (OM)" to your liking, block this with # to keep original setting

@banfy_sk

Track number always set to 1

Not sure what you mean by this. Surely you want an album to have the correct numbering?

Rinse and repeat for all the other scripts with the same steps (Line numbers may vary).
BUT, if you're nifty you can open all the scripts in notepad++ and use the replace text on all opened documents meaning that you don't have to do each replace on every individual script. Just make sure you do the replace for one line at a time. 5-10mins should get all scripts changed this way.
