Re: album / lookup track - round 2

Sorry - that was confusing wasn't it. I posted a comment then realized it was wrong. I went to delete it and the system said that deleting wasn't allowed... (even though there was a button for that). So I edited it to remove the incorrect info - but the system wouldn't let me leave an empty message,...

Re: album / lookup track - round 2

Interesting! Indeed it does work. I have to assume that the website that hosted the proxy script came back online - whether by the person who did it initially several years back, or somehow otherwise, I don't know. But either way it is indeed currently working for me too! That's nice and thanks to &...

Re: album / lookup track - round 2

Thank you for trying! Unfortunately I don't believe that will do anything. As previous posts say, the quoted utility modifies a SIA file such that... "I then edited the file to replace the musicbrainz.org domain with the domain of my proxy script siamb.jhbsa.com and voila! Spin It Again..."...

Re: Album / Track Lookup Solution

If I am not mistaken this - SIA-Lookup-Patch.exe - is the installer for the patch program made by Atlanticom, a (appparentely) former member of this forum. I don't know whether it will actually work as the patch "pointed" to a little program on his own website or server - and indeed it is ...

Re: Album / Track Lookup Solution

I'll put the patches up on dropbox. There is the patch and (I think) two installers for 64 & 32 bit. I have actually now forgotten how they work... https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/8d91w6ptq13c1w36tjqwp/h?dl=0&rlkey=e01gloden50vgw41jufpx5yi7 Also note that I posted a kludge workaround in this ...

Re: Look Up Information

This has been extensively discussed recently. Well, mostly by me. See these threads: https://forums.acoustica.com/viewtopic.php?t=29335 https://forums.acoustica.com/viewtopic.php?t=29277 They are hard to avoid as they are right at the top of the Spin-it-Again discussion, much more recent than this 3...

album / lookup track - round 3 - kludge workaround

For anyone that is interested, with the Spin-it-Again lookup not working I have developed a kludge workaround. Perhaps others more clever than myself can describe a better technique. But this is what I do: (a) export 'wav' files with SIA. The filenames are just Track01.wav etc etc. (b) convert 'wav'...

Re: album / lookup track - round 2

Indeed... this is what I suggested a couple of posts ago. The website jhbsa.com does not give anything coherent so that would imply to me that it is gone... though how it could be gone so suddenly (working one month, then not the next) is not clear to me. Too bad someone didn't store that proxyscrip...

Acoustica not supporting Spin-It-Again

"Hi, MusicBrainz must have changed something again. Spin It Again is a very old product, and we're not updating it anymore. AcousticaGreg" This has come up before, but I have to say it again that I don't get it. I start with the premise that Acoustica is a reputable, and even a "good&...

Hi Greg: I think that perhaps you did not read my whole message. Can I ask you to review it again; and if you don't understand what I've said, to go back to the original post here: Post by atlanticom » Thu Jun 11, 2020 12:46 pm I'm not making any proposal to change SpinItAgain in this message (altho...

Re: album / lookup track - round 2

I wonder if the moderators - acousticaDan - could look at this question. Going back to previous messages it appears a user called atlanticom designed the original fix and implemented an alternative lookup that used a utility that he posted on what would appear to be his own web server or website. Th...

album / lookup track - round 2

I have just today started with problems again with downloading track names from MusicBrainz - which has been working well now with the SIA patch for some time. The Musicbrainz.org site is up and running; and I've tried the lookup now over the course of several hours. Is there something new about the...

Re: Lookup track information vs manual entry

An update on this topic, with particular respect to the inputting information into the Musicbrainz database. I've now done this several times and it is not as challenging as I initially thought. One just has to do it step by step, and the online help is reasonable. One odd thing I've noticed, using ...

Lookup track information vs manual entry

I have successfully used the track information lookup feature with the modified DLL for a while now and it works fine. Most of the time. Surprisingly (not!) it doesn't work when the album is not in the Musicbrainz database... Which is not a fatal error as Musicbrainz is a 'user-supported' database, ...
