Then act if all of the files in the album are present, and do not act if they aren’t. Is it not common for people to have a directory of mixed full and partial albums? Why not match the files, hold that info in your DB, and check it against the tracklist MusicBrainz has. My understanding of the MusicBrainz DB is that it contains both song and album data. If there is something that says “Only”, then that should not be overridden by some other switch. Language in the interface should be clear and unambiguous, and the priority of one thing over another should be plain. There are a limited number of goals one can have with a bunch of music files. The flowchart can then be condensed into a list of actions/conditions and shown to the user. It’s just a decision tree, and those can be flowcharted. I don’t think that it’s really that complex. If you can make the program do something, you should be able to explain it. But that is why we have the help and the forums to help with problems when they occur. SongKong is complex, the thing is that if you just use the defaults then it works well for most customers, the diifficulty tends to come when customers start modifying options without quite understanding what they do. I can see why you might think Rename if Matched only applies to matched in this run, but that is not what it does. If you have previously matched some songs to albums, it doesn’t really make sense to ignore them when renaming files just because they were not matched during this run. I don’t understand your AND/OR view of this. SongKong is designed so that it can work with other taggers as well, this means you could run SongKong on some files, use Jaikoz to manually identify some songs that Songkong could not auto identify, then run Fix Songs to rename everything. Actually I plan to add a separate Rename task to make this more obvious, but the thing is Rename just cares about what is in the files not how they got there.Įmptying the database empties the cache but it does not destroy data, songs with MusicBrainz Ids in the files will still have MusicBrainz Ids in them ectera. Rename is quite a distinct process to Match, I don’t have it enabled by default and I recomend that users first run Fix Songs without rename enabled to ensure happy with results without the extra complication of files being moved and rerun with renaming enabled if they want to reorganize their files.
